CONCEPT, BRANDING, WRITING, VIDEO PRODUCTION

After five years climbing the editorial ladder at Engadget, Christopher dove into digital video headfirst with Computer Love. What started as a personal exploration of online dating ballooned into a popular column and video series exposing the often awkward relationship between sex and technology. Over the course of the next three years, he would turn himself into a techno-sexual guinea pig to better understand the most intimate human-machine interactions, and Computer Love would reach tens of millions of people world wide, with one video hitting 21,000,000 views on YouTube alone. 

Christopher not only created, wrote, and produced the series, he also served as art director and host. The unapologetic, often-graphic and honest exploration of human sexuality in the 21st century landed him appearances on Dr. Oz and New York Magazine’s Sex Lives podcast. Computer Love has been referenced by major media outlets including NPR, Fox News, Vox, Maxim, The International Business Times, Business Insider, and more.
