Chris Smith

Content Creator & Podcaster

Hi, I’m Chris Smith, a born-and-raised San Diegan who’s proud to call this amazing city my lifelong home. I’m married to my incredible wife Kristine, and together, we share a life full of laughter, adventure, and creativity. I’m also a dad to two awesome teenage boys, ages 15 and 13, from my first marriage, and being their dad has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life.

Professionally, I’ve spent most of my career behind the wheel as a CDL truck driver, specializing in local routes right here in San Diego County. For the past 14 years, I’ve been working as a gasoline tanker driver for a major oil company, making sure the gas stations across the county stay stocked. It’s a demanding job, but I love knowing I play a vital role in keeping the city running.

After my divorce, life felt a little uncertain, but I found my footing and achieved something I’m truly proud of: buying my own home in one of the toughest real estate markets in the country. Not long after, I met Kristine, and my life changed in the best way. We clicked immediately and even decided to start a podcast together, The Kris and Kristine Show. What began as casual chats about family and life quickly turned into something much bigger. We started inviting guests from all over the world, and before we knew it, we had built a supportive and growing community of listeners.

That podcasting journey sparked something in me. I realized how much I loved helping others share their stories, so I launched Podtastic Audio. It’s my way of giving back to the podcasting world by teaching independent creators how to produce shows that sound professional without breaking the bank. Podtastic Audio opened doors I never imagined, and now I even work with major companies, using my podcasting skills to help them create amazing audio content.

When I’m not behind the wheel or behind a microphone, I’m usually spending time with my family, exploring San Diego, or diving into my next big idea. Life has been a wild ride, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
