My Story

"When I became a father, the future stopped being theoretical."

From Ministry to The Loop Lab to Boston University, my journey has been about bridging the gap between innovation and humanity. As a father to my 8 month old son, Asher, I see the world we're building through his eyes. Every algorithm, every digital story, every AI system, every technological advancement must serve not just efficiency, but human flourishing.

Hope Coded represents the intersection of cutting-edge technology and timeless values. It represents MY story. It's about ensuring that as we race toward an AI-powered future, we never lose sight of what makes us human.

The Loop Lab

Chris founded The Loop Lab to create the opportunity his mother never had—to become a camerawoman in an industry that shut her out because of racism and sexism. Today, The Loop Lab trains BIPOC creatives in media and tech, turning exclusion into empowerment and legacy into action.
