ABOUT CHRIS
I am a seasoned Creative Director, Producer, and Photographer, but the foundation of my work was built long before I ever stepped into production. It started with a ball and a dream that many told me was impossible.
Growing up, the narrative was always the same: I was too small. At 5'9", I was average for the world but "undersized" for the court. It didn't matter. Fueled by my mother’s belief that outworking everyone was the only variable that truly mattered, I made basketball my entire identity. I lived through the drills, the elite camps, and a relentless daily grind—I even brought my basketball on dates. That obsession ultimately took me from a solid small-college career to two full seasons playing professionally in Europe.
Today, I bring that same "full court press" mentality to every production and every shutter click. Beyond directing and producing, I’ve translated my vision into a successful photography career, creating and managing three dedicated e-commerce platforms that showcase my work. Whether I'm building a brand online or leading a crew on set, I rely on the dedication, creative pivots, and grit I learned on the court. I understand the chemistry of a team and the discipline of the long hours, ensuring that every project carries the weight of a hard-earned victory.

BIO
Before winning Emmy's as a producer and director, Chris was a serious athlete, playing college hoops before heading to Europe for a professional career. His time on the court taught him everything he knows about grit and teamwork. When he moved back to LA, he dove headfirst into reality TV, cutting his teeth on shows like The Adventures of Mark & Brian, HBO Entertainment News, and
The NBA on NBC.
Next, Chris spent four years as the Supervising Producer and Director for Playboy Enterprises. He stayed busy, creating and directing 42 home videos on film. He also launched hit reality shows like Sexy Girl Next Door and 7 Lives Exposed, and pioneered Playboy’s first live Web/TV simulcast, Club Lingerie. That event was a massive success, pulling in 565,000 live visits and over 20 million page views, which skyrocketed the brand's online presence.
After his time at Playboy, Chris helped shape the unscripted and docu-series landscape. He worked on a huge range of hits, including American Ninja Warrior, Take Home Chef, Renovation Nation, Merge with Lisa Rinna, and Home Made Simple. Whether it was high-stakes competition or home renovation, Chris was behind the scenes making it happen for networks like NBC, Discovery, and HGTV.
His more recent credits are just as heavy-hitting. Chris has worked on 7 seasons of The Great Food Truck Race, plus multi-season runs of Tanked, Ghost Asylum, and Food Paradise. He’s also contributed to fan favorites like 90 Day Fiancé, The NBA on TNT, and Corrupt Crimes for Netflix.
These days, Chris runs his own production company, CB Tweak Entertainment, where he’s developing new pilots, commercials, and videos. Between shoots, he stays busy continuing to create & manage his three successful photography websites.
