AFL Reporter for Sports Australia since May 2004, Chris is a sports nut from the eastern Melbourne suburbs of Blackburn and Hawthorn, which bears a strange coincidence with his sporting alliances.

Chris always wanted to be a sports journalist. He misspent his youth trying reading EVERY result from the daily sports section in attempting to impress his parents with inane sporting trivia. Not surprisingly, his childhood heroes were Bruce McAveney and the great Jason Dunstall.

At school, he wrote for virtually every school publication and was also a part of ‘Sage’, a youth magazine for the Age. He was also captain of cross-country.

Chris graduated from Camberwell Grammar in 2002 and was lucky enough to be accepted into journalism at RMIT.

Uni life gave Chris several opportunities to extend his media ambitions - writing for street magazine ‘Exit’ and joining with two friends to start their own community radio show ‘Mornings Without Kerri-Anne’, now in its fourth season on 90.7 SYN FM (and yes - it is a plug!). The show’s description is Chris in a nutshell: ‘talking television without credentials’, and the show has even featured the Ms Kennerly herself!

Despite his hectic Uni life, Chris has kept up his running and is also vice-captain of his university touch football team.

Chris, one day, hopes to have his own variety show, even if it meant acting out some of his lame skits, and would like to run a marathon before he turns 30.
