John Christopher Anderson is the founder and CEO of Momenta Group. He has been an active player in the photographic and communications industry for more than two decades. His background includes roles as a photojournalist, daily news and travel photo editor, and Photo and Illustrations Editor for National Geographic Society. This collection of experience, plus a passion for the craft of Concerned Documentary Photography, helped him find the inspiration to launch Momenta. 

Momenta has divisions in creative consulting, specializing in nonprofit and strategic communications, and International educational workshops. In 2017, Chris helped Momenta launch a charitable nonprofit called Wildfire Media, which provides capacity-building and development assistance along with a dose of inspiration to under-supported NGO communities charities and documentarians around the world. 

The challenges of using powerful visual messaging and open-source research content as a vehicle for educating the public has grown into his biggest passion of late.

John lives with his wife and business partner, Jamie Rose, in the beautiful mountains of Oregon. When he’s not working on Wildfire and Momenta, you can find him blazing down a singletrack on his dirt bike, perfecting a carve on a snowboard, or hiking the backcountry trails with Jamie and their rescue pups.
