Born and raised in TX, Chris is the baby of his family but carries a wisdom well beyond his years. In 2023, he married the love of his life, Frank, and together w/ their biggest tiny dog Ollie they have turned their pre-war 2 bedroom into a cozy haven amidst the lights and glamour of NYC. w/ 15+ years exp. in people and culture, Chris has a deep understanding of what makes people tick & how to lift them up. A true music lover, he has taught us all the power of starting your day w/ the right soundtrack. His energy is a mix of pragmatic positivity and sharp wit; delivering wisdom w/ a side of snark that never fails to make you giggle. He’s also the go-to person for recommendations—whether it’s the best new restaurant, perfect weekend getaway, or a must-watch show, Chris always knows where to go and what to do. Above all, Chris is kind—genuinely, wholeheartedly kind. He’s the type of person who always shows up, always listens, and always offers advice that actually makes sense.

Where to even start? Sure, Jen is a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. I’m lucky enough to know her as a close friend – you know, the kind you can message at 2 AM because you just had the best idea ever! Morning engagement with her is an art form – unless you have coffee brewed by her husband, Ace, don’t even bother. Jen is like a human glitter bomb; her personality is sparkly and impossible to ignore. And yes, sparkle is indeed her favorite color. She’s got this knack for sharing her encyclopedic knowledge on anything and everything, and she does it with such charm that you can’t help but listen. She’s a delightful mix of passion, opinions, and a laugh that can turn any frown upside down. A midwest gal who found her way down south, she’s currently rocking life in the DFW, TX area. Her collections are as eclectic as she is – good whiskey, yummy wine, great friends, and unforgettable memories. I’m so excited to get to share her and our friendship with you!

Meet Ace — Producer, Story Alchemist

The behind-the-scenes magician that keeps Chris & Jen in the Morning running smoothly. As the show’s producer, he balances sound, structure, and strategy so Chris and Jen can do what they do best: connect with listeners. He’s the one making sure the laughs are crisp, the stories land, and the final product feels polished, personal, and full of heart.

With an ear for detail and a passion for storytelling, Ace shapes each episode into something you can’t help but lean into.

Ace is a true enthusiast for all things compelling. When not wrangling audio waves, you’ll find him geeking out over new tech or deep in a great book, manga, or manhwa—currently obsessed with Under the Oak Tree by Suji Kim. His taste spans screens, too: from the witty chaos of A Knight’s Tale to the emotional beauty of Your Lie in April, Ace appreciates any story with great characters and a satisfying payoff.
