  • Trivia
    Chris's famous fire tornado vision of 2012 saw him interviewed live on "Good Morning America" and on the "Today" show on the same morning and even saw former Vice President Al Gore request a license for the vision, twice. At 17, he began a lone 2-year search for the supposedly extinct Thylacine or "Tasmanian Tiger" and has led expeditions to rediscover early explorer's camps in the remote Australian outback.
