The Real Story

While I started my career as an Actor, Director, and Producer, in the past several years I have rediscovered my purpose: to help people shine in their most honest and authentic way.

I love connecting with people on the cutting-edge of combining technology with leaving the planet a better, cleaner place, and helping with the humanitarian crisis of wealth and income disparities.

Ultimately, it’s about trying to level the playing field.

I love to travel and soak up as much information about the world, and all its cultures, people, and ideas. It has shaped me into the person I am, and my intention is to share what I have seen and learned to create pathways of empowerment for others.

Outside of work, I love having time for myself to enjoy nature, spend time with community, and focus on healthy living.

Thanks for visiting,
Chris
