Chris Holmes

Discovery Agents
US Business Development and Interpretive Services Director
Austin, Texas Area
Considered to be an exotic rather than invasive species, Chris has worked in National Parks in England, Australia and New Zealand before arriving in Texas to run an environmental education center and summer camp for three years where over 35,000 students attended overnight field trips. He served as the Regional Interpretive Specialist for 7 years and 3 years as the Outdoor Education Coordinator for Texas State Parks creating a series of successful statewide programs aimed at reconnecting children and families back to outdoors such as the Texas Outdoor Family program and Geocache Challenge program. In 2012 he became the Director of Interpretation and Outreach for Texas State Parks, developing policy, procedures and guidelines that enhance and assist best practices of park interpretation and outreach. Chris joined the Discovery Agents team because his vision saw that technology can enhance interpretation and wanted to be on the forefront of a changing landscape across the nation.
