Shining Star: Christopher Mistretta
Christopher Mistretta, a senior specialist of supply development at Orion, has been playing guitar for decades—and has even been on tour. Our November Shining Star details his musical escapades.
So, tell us a bit about yourself. Where are you from?
I’m from Wantagh, New York on Long Island.
And, what university did you graduate from?
I graduated from CW Post University with a bachelor’s degree in marketing and public relations.
What’s something interesting that we might not know about you?
Well, I am a guitarist in a death metal band. I have been playing guitar for about 20 years, and my current band has recorded numerous albums and singles, as well as toured the East Coast.
What are your hobbies?
Other than music, I love to cook. I almost decided to be a culinary major in college.
What’s your favorite movie?
My favorite serious film (although not that serious) would be Tombstone, a great Western from the 90s. Admittedly, I am a cheesy action movie fan as well. Love anything from the 80s and 90s with either Seagal or Van Damme.
If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go?
I have always wanted to visit Egypt. Would love to see the pyramids and temples.
