Christopher Stapleton

I have been working and playing to get the most out of THIS life. I am a Social Entrepreneur, Interdisciplinary Scholar, Community Leader, Experience Designer, an Innovator of Innovation, a Loving Father and Son. I am trained as an designer for film and theater with a Masters of Fine Arts from the Tisch School of the Arts in New York City. I have been applying my cinematic theatrics to theme parks worldwide and researching the next generation of Experiential Learning.

I am currently making plans to transport millions of kids across time and space to a futuristic lunar colony within their imagination. Sponsored by NASA, I am applying a new Interplay Learning Theory that I created with an exceptional professor at UCF. I am leveraging Mixed Reality, which is like converging a video game and a theme park into a space rocket.

I work in the city for the creative synergy and retreat to my cottage in the country to commune with nature for the inspiration. I write about how experiential media is transforming human experience by virtuality transcending its computer confines into the reality of where we work, play, live and shop. I consider myself an accomplished dreamer, because I achieve what I set out to do. I call myself a Creative Venture Catalyst, because I enjoy and successful at the founding of many organizations, initiatives, businesses, programs, research testbed, etc. I am more interested in making a difference than making money. But alas, as they say in design school, form follows funding. Much of my work is assembling creative teams and raising funds for meaningful projects.
