Chris has fifteen years' experience in communications and live broadcasting for The Walt Disney Company, ABC, Time-Warner, Gannett, AMC Networks, and others.
"Chris is a fun, funny, high-energy speaker who truly inspired our employees and partners. He really connected with the audience and motivated them to take action.." Mike Slavich, Director of Sustainability, Warner Bros. Studios
Chris Hurt was barely six years old when he discovered the joys of performing. But it would take another fifteen years before he learned the significance of truly ‘serving' an audience.
Chris first began to hear his ‘calling' while working with the Walt Disney Company in Orlando. And the volume of that call grew with each new job he took: first as skipper on the Jungle Cruise, then as tour guide, followed by ‘Mouse-ter' of Ceremonies, Disney University Instructor and finally, Walt Disney World Ambassador. The pattern was set…
As a self-employed spokesperson since 1997, Chris has become a broadly experienced veteran of live shows, industrial films, commercials and voiceovers. He now averages more than 100 days per year in front of an audience, camera or microphone somewhere in the United States.
‘I'm absolutely convinced that free market enterprise makes it possible to solve nearly every problem mankind faces. Delivering that message, one presentation at a time, is a very personally fulfilling experience. I truly love the job.'
Dan Bramm, Bramm Films
"Chris is always prepared… he saves us time and money in the rest of the workflow and that is HUGE."
