Ace Gere

Producer

Meet Ace — Producer, Story Alchemist, and Quiet Third Voice in the Room

The behind-the-scenes magician that keeps Chris & Jen in the Morning running smoothly. As the show’s producer, Ace balances sound, structure, and strategy so Chris and Jen can do what they do best: connect with listeners. They’re the one making sure the laughs are crisp, the stories land, and the final product feels polished, personal, and full of heart.

With an ear for detail and a passion for storytelling, Ace shapes each episode into something you can’t help but lean into. Off-mic, they're typically geeking out over new tech, exploring creative projects, or gently reminding Chris and Jen to stay on track (a full-time job, truly).

Ace is a true enthusiast for all things compelling. When not wrangling audio waves, you’ll find them deep in a great book, manga, or manhwa—currently obsessed with Under the Oak Tree by Suji Kim. Their taste spans screens, too: from the witty chaos of A Knight’s Tale to the emotional beauty of Your Lie in April, Ace appreciates any story with great characters and a satisfying payoff.

Thoughtful, creative, and quietly brilliant, Ace is the steady presence that makes the show sound—and feel—like magic.

Meet Chris — Co-Host, Heart, and Resident Snarkologist

Chris is the heart-meets-humor engine of Chris & Jen in the Morning. A natural storyteller with a gift for blending insight, warmth, and perfectly timed sarcasm, he brings depth and levity to every episode. Whether he’s unpacking life’s big questions, sharing a guilty pleasure, or offering a reflection that hits you right in the feels, Chris makes every conversation feel like a cozy morning chat with your smartest (and funniest) friend.

Born and raised in Texas, Chris now lives in NYC with his husband, Frank, and their “biggest tiny dog,” Ollie. Their pre-war apartment is filled with great lighting, great books, and great playlists—because Chris firmly believes the right soundtrack can change your entire day.

With 15+ years in people and culture, Chris understands how humans tick and how to lift them up. He’s also the go-to guy for recommendations: the best new restaurant, the perfect weekend trip, a TV show you need to binge immediately. Above all, Chris is known for being genuinely, wholeheartedly kind—a person who shows up, listens, and leaves you better than he found you.

On the mic or off, Chris delivers wisdom with a wink, laughter with intention, and connection with heart.

Meet Jen — Co-Host, Spark, and Human Glitter Bomb

Jen is the energy, empathy, and sparkle of Chris & Jen in the Morning. She brings warmth, curiosity, and absolute authenticity to every episode. Whether she’s sharing a personal story, asking the questions listeners are secretly thinking, or laughing at her own quirks (yes—roads with walls lives forever), Jen makes the show feel like a conversation with your best friend.

A midwest gal currently thriving in the DFW area, Jen is a wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and professional collector of great whiskey, yummy wine, and joyful moments. She’s also the kind of friend you can text at 2 AM with an idea and know she’ll be just as excited as you.

Jen’s sparkle isn’t a metaphor—sparkle is her actual favorite color. She’s a delightful blend of passion, opinions, encyclopedic knowledge, and a laugh so contagious it should come with a warning label. Her superpower? Making people feel seen, supported, and entertained all at once.

She’s not afraid to go deep, get vulnerable, celebrate strengths, or find the humor hiding in life’s messy middle. With Jen on the mic, every episode shines just a little brighter.
