About ExactRush
Our team combines editorial judgment, scholarship, production craft, multimedia experience, and practical hustle. Authors work with real people who know how to move a strong idea from manuscript to market.
Owner, CEO, and Editor-in-Chief
Christopher is the owner and editor-in-chief of Exact Rush Multimedia Publishing, founder and CEO of ProvenanceAI, and an Associate Professor of Religion Studies at Lehigh University. A scholar, author, and knowledge entrepreneur, he founded ExactRush to help authors and creatives earn their worth and extend the reach of their ideas.
His academic work on religion, spirituality, culture, and social identity shapes the press's commitment to serious ideas, accessible writing, fair compensation, and books that matter beyond the moment of publication.
Our day-to-day team stands at the core of our operations, bringing together creativity, technical expertise, production experience, and editorial care. From the first conversation to the finished publication, we work collaboratively to help writers, scholars, educators, and creatives bring their vision to life.
