Over his 21 years, Kris has covered some amazing stories, including the Baylor Men’s Basketball scandal, the Columbia break up over Texas, the Lady Bears 3 National Championships, and even a Heisman Trophy. In more recent years he’s covered the two Fort Hood shootings, the West Fertilizer Plant Explosion and the Twin Peaks biker shootout.

Kris is a native of Torrance, California --a suburb of Los Angeles-- and a graduate of California State University at Long Beach. His father was a teacher and coach, and also worked for the Lakers. His role was the official scorekeeper for all home games for 48 years. That made him the longest tenured employee in franchise history! Kris needs just 27 more years to go at KCEN to catch him.
