Christopher German

Capt. Christopher German is a longtime journalist and professional mariner. German started work as a cub reporter for a weekly newspaper in Connecticut when graduated from the UCONN School of Journalism at Storrs. He quickly gravitated toward his first love as a radio journalist in the NYC market before returning to school at Boston University where he earned a master’s in Broadcast Journalism. 

While in Boston, he earned his captain’s license and spent the next chapter of his life sailing the Eastern Seaboard. When a hurricane sunk his boating business in North Carolina, he switched back to pursue a career in the media and started The Charted Life Productions, where he is now producing documentaries.

German currently works and broadcasts from the Utah Desert at Lake Powell and plans to relocate to Hawaii in the near future to take part in the life of his first Grand Daughter with his wife Jennifer.
