Meet Khristopher Fields: At just 27 years old, he's not only a recipient of the U.S. Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award and the U.S. Presidential Gold Medal, but also a published author, visionary, and 2025 Forbes 30 Under 30 nominee. As an inspirational foundation executive, his work is making waves and inspiring a movement for the next generation of champions to wise up and rise up.

His motivation to inspire the next generation stems from growing up in Greenspoint, an inner-city neighborhood in north Houston, Texas, known for its high crime rates, particularly violent crimes like armed robberies and assaults. Despite these challenges, Greenspoint, often referred to as "Gunspoint," has been the backdrop for his remarkable achievements.

Through NBC's syndicated television network, Khristopher’s voice has reached hundreds of thousands nationwide and over 81,000 people through online streaming. This platform has amplified his message of empowerment and community enrichment to an unimaginably wide audience. Across the nation, those facing similar challenging circumstances have seen him as an example of overcoming adversity. He refuses to be a cautionary tale; instead, he aims to be a testament to God’s unmatched power to transform lives.

Khristopher has logged over 4,000 hours of volunteerism and community service and is the visionary founder of Wise Up To Rise Up Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3) licensed community organization that has earned Gold Status recognition from respected organizations such as Guidestar, Foundation Center, and Candid. Through innovative programs, collaborative partnerships, and a commitment to excellence, Wise Up to Rise Up Foundation has positively impacted the lives of over 200 individuals, instilling a love for learning and a passion for community engagement. The foundation's impact extends beyond educational initiatives to encompass community building, mentorship, and the celebration of knowledge, imagination, and excellence.

Khristopher champions the incredible work being done to boost literacy rates through the power of community, creativity, and collaboration. The foundation focuses on bringing people together—communities, dreamers, artists, visionaries, educators, and volunteers—to spark a love of learning and creativity in the next generation, especially in the underserved neighborhoods of Houston, Texas.

By publishing "From Dreams To Wings: Extraordinary Epiphanies Through The Lens Of Aviation," establishing a mentorship program, and personally gifting 100 copies of the book to aspiring youth, Khristopher has significantly contributed to the community. The book and program provide young aviation enthusiasts with the knowledge, inspiration, and guidance they need to achieve their skyward goals. Furthermore, his active involvement in community enrichment initiatives and motivational speaking engagements has allowed him to reach a broader audience, spreading a message of empowerment and resilience to many more individuals beyond the direct beneficiaries of the mentorship program.

Despite these achievements, he considers the lives he's touched and the smiles he's inspired to be his greatest accolades.
