First Article: 'Detroit: Where To Begin?' - Mercy Catalyst 
Bio: Growing up in Detroit, Michigan, Chris was used to city life from a young age. The hustle and bustle excited and inspired him, and as he watched people pass him in the street, he got to asking 'What's your story?'. The thought that everybody has a story warmed him - and he decided to capture as many of those stories as possible - mainly for himself. It was interesting. His father, a postmaster, bought him some recording equipment and gave him his first exclusive interview. Chris was hooked.

He joined his college publication in the late 80's - the Mercy Catalyst, and wrote his first article 'Detroit: Where To Begin?' which documented the problems he felt the city faced. It was here that he met a couple of budding film students, who after reading his article, asked if he'd be interested in interviewing them. He was, and he did. He began to follow them in their potential careers, but they eventually gave up on film - but he hadn't. Film had reached his heart - "everyone has a story, and this is where they're told. I just tell them in a different way." He began to look for a company he could follow, from start to finish. He searched online and eventually contacted Murphy Rhodes. Murphy and Chris spoke about XRhodes' long term plans and ideals, and Chris liked what he heard.
