Christopher “Chip” Adams

Christopher “Chip” Adams’ path in television began with an interest in photography in high school as well as being inspired by ABC’s Wide World of Sports. And he took the “wide world” of sports to the extreme during his career as he earned his HOF credentials while serving as NBC Olympics Director and then VP of Venue Engineering for every Olympics from 2000 to 2022. His contributions resulted in 20 Sports Emmy Awards for Remote Operations and Technical Achievement including four for The George Wensel Innovative Technical Achievement Award as well as a Technology and Engineering Award. Adams retired from NBC Olympics in 2022. He also had operational experience in Video Shading, Video Tape Editing, Audio, and RF engineering for clients such as ESPN/ABC, CBS, AMV Mobile Video, Christian Science Church, HBO, NEP, and NBC, prior to his first Technical Management assignment at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, Korea. He expanded his Technical Management experience across Golf, Basketball, Football, Skiing, Horse Racing, and the first X Games as well as Athletics, Aquatics, and Alpine Skiing International World Championships.
