Chris Klein
Founder & Owner
Although his family relocated to central PA decades ago, Chris moved to Pittsburgh in 1993. His roots came from Pittsburgh, and his grandmother was born in Castle Shannon in the early 1900’s. Pittsburgh in the early 20th Century, while booming and bustling, was a dirty place. Not so today! Pittsburgh moved him. He loves to capture beauty in unique ways and was inspired to create Pittsburgh Beautiful as a way to share that with everyone.
