Meet the Founder

Chris leads Kismet with both strategic rigor and creative heart. As the driving force behind our agency, he brings years of hands-on experience in digital marketing, content creation, and brand storytelling.

Before launching Kismet, Chris crafted marketing content and campaigns for a diverse range of brands, helping them clarify their voice, elevate their presence, and connect with real audiences in meaningful ways. During the pandemic, Chris jumped at the chance to offer digital work for NFL FLAG, which ultimately catapulted him into more and more opportunities. The rest is history, Chris took Kismet full-time, and never looked back.

Chris’s approach is rooted in making complexity feel simple and engaging. Whether he’s building a go-to-market campaign or overseeing a full multimedia shoot, he has a knack for translating technically-forward ideas into content that feels clear, compelling, and true to a brand’s identity, a perspective that shapes how Kismet partners with every client.

Beyond strategy and creative work, Chris’s voice carries his personality—and a lifelong love for storytelling that started when he was just 12 years old (seriously, his original stuff is still up on YouTube). He’s been dreaming of this kind of creative work ever since, and that early curiosity has grown into a career rooted in humor, humanity, and connection.

A seasoned stand-up comedian who’s performed coast-to-coast, Chris brings that same sense of timing and heart into everything we make. When he’s not helping brands tell their story, you’ll find him wandering Denver’s neighborhoods in search of great coffee, exploring his beloved mountain town, and hanging out with Kismet’s self-proclaimed mascot, Pogi.
