Chris Case: Hi, my name is Chris Case. My last name, Case, is Irish. It used to be O'Casey but it got shortened somewhere along the line. We don't know where. We think Ellis Island, but we don't really know.
And my first name, Chris, comes from a student that my mom used to work with when she was a children's librarian. And his name was Christopher Todd Mailer. And she loved this kid; she thought he was amazing. So I got the Chris and my brother got the Todd.
