Christopher Ledford grew up in and around Neosho and has deep roots in the community. In his early years, he enjoyed working as a projectionist at the historic Orpheum Theatre, as well as several other theaters in the area — experiences that sparked a lifelong passion for visual storytelling.
With a professional background in photography and video production, Christopher built a 35-year career in television, primarily with NBC, serving as a Technical Director for news in multiple markets, including Joplin. Along the way, he also contributed to independent films, working in special effects and production.
Now semi-retired and operating a small side business, Christopher enjoys serving families at Clark Funeral Homes. He assists with meeting and greeting families and provides audio and video support during services, helping ensure that each tribute is meaningful and memorable.
Christopher finds great fulfillment in serving God and spending time with his wife, Tina, whom he has been married to for 17 years. Together, they enjoy attending church, volunteering, and supporting visual and technical aspects of production as well as security.
Christopher and Tina are proud parents of one son and two daughters, all of whom are grown and established in their own careers and families.
