Description
Mr. Chris Eyre serves as Partner Emeritus and Non-Investing Partner at Legacy Venture. Chris joined Legacy as a Managing Director in 2001 soon after his former partner Jim Anderson shared the unique model he had created with Russ Hall.

In addition to his venture capital career, Chris has devoted significant time to family, philanthropy and church service, as well as personal investing. He has worked extensively with youth in a teaching and counseling role. Chris holds a B.S. in Psychology from Utah State University and a MBA from Harvard Business School.
