Chris was born on a small farm and has worked in floor tile and radiator factories, in a paint and hardware store and as a warehouse man. He is a former Melbourne drive-time radio announcer and later a television station announcer. He has led parties searching for the 19th century camps of the Burke and Wills expedition... and found some, he once spent two years on a lone search for the supposedly extinct Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger. His astonishing footage of a fire tornado in 2012 was reported worldwide through Reuters resulting in him being interviewed globally, including live on both Good Morning America and the Today shows on the same morning, and later with Sean Hannity. Former US Vice President Al Gore requested a license to utilize the footage, twice.
