Christian R. Fernandes, a native of Wareham, Massachusetts, grew up in the vibrant
community of Onset, MA. His journey in community involvement began early on, marked by a
notable contribution of co-building the main float for Onset’s 100th Centennial Parade
alongside his best friend in 1994.

During his junior year at Wareham High School in 1995, Fernandes and his friend established
“The Onset Bay Movie Company,” a volunteer-based initiative aimed at providing “Free
Summer Family Fun” by organizing movie screenings at the Lillian Gregerman Bandshell for
15 years.

Fernandes graduated from Wareham High School in 1996, having earned scholarships in
video production and art. He pursued higher education at the Savannah College of Art and
Design, graduating with a double major in Video/Film and Computer Art Motion Graphics.
While in Savannah, Georgia, Fernandes gained experience as a videographer for the
Savannah Panthers (AAA Football) and the SCAD Bees Volleyball team.

After completing his education in 2001, Fernandes returned to Massachusetts and began his
career in the Wareham Public School system as a technology para, while concurrently
interning at Sandwich Cable Access Television (SACAT). His career trajectory also included
roles such as concessionist manager and projectionist at Regal Cinemas.

In 2006, Fernandes relocated to Louisiana, where he continued working in movie theaters
until Hurricane Rita disrupted his employment. Subsequently, he joined NBC as a
videographer/operations crew member. By late 2007, Fernandes returned to Massachusetts,
engaging in various roles including graphic design and freelance videography.

In 2009, Fernandes secured a pivotal role as the education coordinator for Wareham
Community Television (Wareham Media) upon its establishment. Over the span of the next 15
years, he has evolved within the organization, assuming the title of Senior Producer for most
public and education programs. He also oversees the video production assistant program and
internship program, while also spearheading the sports initiative, showcasing his enduring
commitment to community engagement and media production.
