Chip Rives was practically born at the Houston Astrodome. Certainly grew up there, and endured many of his most cherished life experiences there. It was also there, in this multi-colored national treasure, where his passion for sports - and storytelling - truly emerged. And, unfortunately, it's also where as a kid he learned that if he wanted to be involved in sports, it wasn't gonna be on the field. So he began writing. In 2015, his life came full circle when he produced MLB Network's 8th Wonder of the World - a documentary honoring 50 years of Houston's iconic Astrodome. Before and after, he's gone on to do other awesome things in and out of the sports television world. He's won Six Emmy Awards, a Peabody Award and an NACCP award. His numerous broadcast documentary credits include ESPN 30 for 30's Brian and the Boz, and Phi Slama Jama, History's Alcatraz: Search for the Truth, Discovery's Ghosts of Bataan, CBS Sports' History in the Astrodome and History's The 44th President: In His Own Words. He also produced and wrote the critically acclaimed Jazz documentary film, Chops. When he's not traveling for his latest production, you find Chip at home in Austin...probably on his back porch, watching his beloved Astros.
