Chris's roles include a bit of everything with emphasis on tech issues that seem impossible to solve. Chris attended the University of Las Vegas at the age of 16; however, he dropped out after only 3 semesters to begin his life as a serial entrepreneur. A self-taught programmer, he has been developing successful websites for more than a decade. Chris founded his first large website in 2007, called ShareTV.com, which became one of the first online distribution partners of HULU and TheWB. A week after launching the project an article announcing the site went viral bringing more than 20,000 visitors that day. The site continued to grow over the years to millions of monthly visitors streaming hundreds of thousands hours of television on the site. In 2014, Chris and his business partner, Drew Schoentrup, acquired their largest project called TV Tropes, a site which generates 80-100 million pageviews each month from its large user base. To announce the takeover, Chris and Drew launched a Kickstarter campaign to ask the members for their help in improving the project. The campaign raised more than $100,000 in donations. In 2015, Chris and Drew formed Proper Media to take their knowledge of running large scale websites to new heights. Their first official client was Snopes.com, the largest and oldest fact-checking website on the web. Within a year, Proper Media was managing ads for dozens of top-tier clients serving ads to more than 100 million users each month. In mid-2016, Proper Media’s founders negotiated a deal with the co-founder of Snopes.com, Barbara Mikkelson, to purchase her single share in Snopes.com former parent company, Bardav Inc., representing a 50% ownership interest in the company. Chris currently serves as a board member of the current parent company, Snopes Media Group. In 2018, Chris helped with his 3rd major acquisition by acquiring Spoutable.com under Proper Media.
