Christian West
Christian "Chris" West, president and founder, was born in Denver, Colorado, and raised across the Midwest in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. In 1975, at the age of 17, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, serving honorably until his discharge in 1992.

Shortly after completing his military service, Chris launched a career in modeling, acting, film, and television. For more than two decades, he was represented by top talent agencies across Kansas, Colorado, Illinois, California, Tennessee, Texas, Nevada, Arizona, North and South Carolina, as well as internationally in Japan. Throughout his career, he represented major brands including Wrangler Jeans, Stetson Hats, Nocona Boots, Sheplers Western Wear, and Marlboro, along with numerous western wear retailers throughout the American West. He also served as a Talent Director and Instructor for several leading modeling and acting academies for well over a decade.

​

In 2006, Chris relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, to pursue his passion in the music and entertainment industry. Navigating the competitive landscape of Music City—home to some of the world’s finest songwriters, musicians, and vocalists—he met the challenge with grit and determination. Chris formed one of the premier bands in Nashville, headlining iconic venues along Lower Broadway and the surrounding areas for years. Through relentless dedication, he established a lasting reputation as a true Nashville artist, songwriter, and performer, where he is still warmly welcomed back on stage today.

Chris moved to the Gulf Coast town of Lillian, Alabama, in 2023, intending to ease into retirement. However, resting by the pool or sitting in front of a television simply didn't suit his drive. Inspired by his band and entertainment company, One More Ride, he began playing throughout his new local community—performing in Lillian, Elberta, Foley, Gulf Shores, and Pensacola—quickly winning over a dedicated following of new fans.

Today, Chris is set to take the stage further, bringing the "One More Ride" experience to new audiences with his expanding entertainment company.
