An expert in both American Sign Language and British Sign Language, Christopher Brown is the author of The Art of Sign Language and the Art of Sign Language: Phrases. While working at a Canadian airport, he recognized the need for someone with signing skills to assist hearing-impaired passengers. Since then, he’s become well-known in the deaf community and is often invited to ‘speak’ at signing conferences. A regular visitor to the Tobago School for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired, Brown currently lives in Great Britain.
