Christopher, a member of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma and the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, was born in New York City. Raised by his mother and maternal great-grandparents in Oklahoma, he lived in two worlds, that of the dominant society and the traditions of his tribal heritage.
Chris began working in the television industry in 1991 at the Dallas Community Television station, teaching others how to produce their community television shows. He also began working with network sports shows with major professional and college sports with ESPN, ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox Sports network and traveled on golf tours. He worked with local Dallas Indian organizations as well as with the overall business and educational communities to produce shows and public service announcements for their use.
Taking his eighteen years of experience in the television and film industry and equipped with the latest in digital technology, he has expanded the production company to work with tribes, non-profit organizations and individuals. His credits as a producer and camera operator detail his extensive work experience to be able to provide quality video productions for individuals and organizations.
