Chris Middleton

Chris Middleton is a contributing writer specializing in personal finance and home decor. Also a comedy writer, he likes to infuse his work with humor and wit to help break down complex DIY topics to make sure you learn a lot and laugh along the way.

As an avid DIYer, Chris has a bold “I can do that” mentality, which has resulted in him making every mistake in the book when it comes to home renovations—much to the chagrin of his landlords. But, through these failures, he’s been able to tackle intense DIYs, like laying a stone walkway and building a porch.

Currently the Senior Staff Writer for the branded content studio at Zoomer Media, Hive Labs, his work is now primarily featured on Daily Hive and blogTO—with past writing credits including CBC News, Exclaim!, Humber Literary Review, and Parton and Pearl. During his spare time, Chris is often found trying not to overwater his house plants.
