Chris Scharff was born in Germany, to English mother and German father, on one of his father business trips. His father was then an importer of German cars to South Africa where his family lived. Chris and his grandparents were left in Germany when his father was drafted in the German army during World War II. It was after the war when his father was a prisoner of war; the family went out of Europe and went back to Africa to stay with his English Australian grandparent. They went to Johannesburg then moved to Durban where Chris attended junior and high schools.
Upon leaving school, he went to central Africa where he cultivated tobacco, other crops and dairy and beef cattle. In the light of further political instability in the African continent, Chris relocated to the United States whose father had reinhabited Los Angeles in the United States as an intelligence officer in the German Air Force. Before going back to school to learn programming and retrain his accounting at a junior college, Chris accompanied his father in mosaic work.
He only worked in two companies and even then, he was hired as a junior programmer by Yamaha Corporation of America to eventually retire as one of its Vice Presidents. Throughout his life, Chris has experienced the World War II, Africa, and currently the United States. He got married in Rhodesia (Now Zimbabwe) and had a daughter and currently has three grandsons and eight great-grandchildren. He has a great grandson in the U.S. Army, and another is about to be born.
