Chris Carmack’s roots in Montgomery County run deep. Growing up in Derwood, MD, and graduating from Magruder in the late ‘90s, Chris was immersed in the local spirit and community from an early age.

Active in his school’s drama program, he participated in multiple productions each year and competed at various drama festivals– a foundation that would later pave the way for his acting career and now his social media stardom.
