About the Host

Chris is an award-winning reporter who started his career in the alleyways of Egypt after landing his first job with the Cairo Times, an independent human rights magazine.  While in the Middle East, he also reported from Israel and the Palestinian Territories, freelancing for CBC News and writing for the Lebanon Daily Star. 

Since then, he's lived in Victoria and Prince George, where for three years he hosted the morning show for Northern BC.  Most recently, he worked as a news editor in Kelowna.

When he's not on the radio, Chris can be found in the garden or in the kitchen.  He also enjoys running and field hockey.

Chris grew up on Galiano Island near Victoria.  He holds a degree in American history from the University of Victoria and a graduate degree in journalism from Carleton University in Ottawa.

Chris lives in downtown Kelowna with his wife Claire and their young son Ethan.
