hi there,

Thanks for stopping by, I'm Chris. My career has taken me to 6 different countries and 28 states throughout the U.S. I feel at my best when surrounded by like-minded creatives who are inspired to make an impact with their work.

I grew up in Vermont but have called Minnesota home for the last 10 years. I don't have many ultimatums but I will never settle for anything less than real cream butter, and pure, grade-A, dark amber maple syrup.

Let's connect over a beer, coffee, or stack of pancakes with the appropriate toppings!

THINGS I AM
GOOD AT

leadership

I lead a 30-person content, creative and production team at the Minnesota Wild, through 3 directors and 6 managers, and I own a $12.3M operating budget. I've grown the team 67% in three years and promoted from within, because a great creative culture comes from developing great people.

CREATIVE VISON

I'd rather set trends than follow them. At the Wild, our brand campaign "Not Weird. Wild." earned 426% above-average social engagement, and our jersey launch drove more than $2M in retail sales. I go after bold ideas, execute them well and measure the results.

STORYTELLING

Five regional Emmys and 34 nominations since 2021. From the Dream State documentaries to more than 2,000 minutes of original programming a year, I believe selling a feeling beats selling a product. The best stories turn fans into lifelong believers.

adaptability

Like putty, I can mold to - and thrive in - many work environments. While currently overseeing the brand, graphic design, and video production teams at the Wild, I find myself wearing many different hats for many different situations. I believe adaptabilty is essential to longevity.

COLLABORATION

I thrive in an environment surrounded by like-minded creatives who aren't afraid to fail. In order to venture a brand or project into unchartered territories, you must have a team willing to blaze a new path. While often leading out front, I never go it alone.
