Christopher Michael Roybal

I am a native New Mexican born and raised in El Valle de Arroyo Seco. My parents, John Michael and Anita, taught my sister, Kristin, and I to live honestly and lovingly, and their dedication to our family constantly inspires me to make the most of my life and to spread love.

After excelling at St. Michael's High School and the University of Southern California, I founded my media company, Incredible Films, and began creating projects to celebrate New Mexico and its diverse population.

Over the past decade, my work has screened around the world and has earned me commissions by major international and local companies. Additionally, I have published six books, including my prayer collection and poetic memoir, "Life Goes Up."

More importantly, my works are regularly at the center of fundraising events, and I have helped to raise thousands of dollars for deserving local causes - including scholarship funds for local graduates - and have also worked with youth statewide to encourage and empower the next generation.

I have been abundantly blessed, and I give all praise to God for any good that resides in me. My faith plays the most significant role in my life, and I try to honor God by infusing my endeavors with love.
