Chris is a journalist in Tulsa, Okla., currently reporting and anchoring Morning Edition for KWGS / Public Radio Tulsa, Tulsa’s NPR member station. He’s a graduate of Hunter College and the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism, both at the City University of New York.

His stories have appeared on NPR.org, the NPR national newscast, and NPR’s Morning Edition, All Things Considered, and Weekend Edition. He’s also had stories in and/or on WNYC’s Gothamist; Utah Public Radio; Robin Hood Radio / WHDD; The Voice of Harlem / WHCR; The Bridge; the Canarsie Courier; and the Brooklyn Eagle.

When he’s not following stories, he’s probably out either camping or hiking with his dog, Trout Fishing in America, or playing third base for the Tulsa Breeze sandlot baseball club. He’s also a proud alumnus of Bike & Build, an affordable housing nonprofit with which he’s cycled coast-to-coast twice: from Portland, Maine, to Santa Barbara (2014), and from Nags Head, North Carolina, to San Diego (2016).

In 2020, Chris, Carter Moore and Dani Hayes jointly won the Utah SPJ award for best continuing coverage (radio), for their Utah Public Radio reporting on the disappearance and murder of Lizzy Shelley and the trial of suspect Alexander Whipple.
