He earned a degree in urban regional planning from Cal Poly Pomona but struggled to find work in that field.

This segment establishes his diverse background before entering the painting profession.

Goal: The video introduces Chris Berry, 'The Idaho Painter,' and briefly touches upon his early life in construction trades, his father's encouragement to pursue higher education, his college degree in urban regional planning, and a period working for the Boise Police Department.
