About Chris

I’m a New York City–born media operator based in San Francisco, working across video, audio, photography, and live production.

After co-founding and operating startups, I founded Hall Media in 2019 to help founders and executives develop their media presence. I’ve produced Garry Tan’s video content since 2020 and produce The Social Radars with Jessica Livingston and Carolynn Levy.

In January 2026, I joined Y Combinator as Senior Video Producer.
