As the son of a German mother and an American father, Chris Brow grew up in Germany and in the United States of America. At a young age he learned to know both countries and languages and to mediate between the cultures. So it was obvious that as an 8-year-old he had the big career wish to become a "German U.S. President" one day.

Chris always wanted to make a difference and loved the big show. Fifteen years after his ambitious career wish, he did not go into politics, but completed an apprenticeship as an event manager at a Düsseldorf event agency. Shortly after that, it was clear to him: "I'm going my own way."

So Chris started out on his own as a freelance presenter. U.S. President then became someone else, because Chris prefers to move the masses in his own way.

Thanks to his distinct empathy, the "certain something", his humor and the constant joy of entertainment, he was able to make a name for himself with worldwide clients within a few years. As a "native German and English speaker" and thanks to his multinational background, he is able to present products and messages in both languages in an authentic and lively way.
