Chris Duke, executive producer and host of Motorz and official Craftsman® automotive tool spokesperson for Sears catalogs, is a true automotive enthusiast with more than 25 years of experience in hands-on vehicle customization. He is a proud 13-year veteran of the automotive industry having founded former F150World.com, and served as Ford Truck World Magazine editor for a number of years.

Creator, Executive Producer & Host, Motorz TV

In 2008, Chris launched Motorz TV, now the fastest growing nationally televised Automotive Improvement series of its kind. Unlike other automotive shows that skip important steps during commercial breaks, use expensive tools, or perform feats that would be impossible for the average viewer, Motorz shows viewers how to confidently and properly maintain a vehicle and install aftermarket accessories with simple step-by-step instructions in a home garage environment.

In each episode, Chris gets his hands dirty and digs into the nuts and bolts of each stage of the process including showing viewers exactly what tools to use, and how and why to use them. He also provides advice regarding any challenges along the way, and always provides information on important safety precautions. Whether it’s installing bolt-on performance modifications, wiring up electronics, rebuilding an engine, or detailing the vehicle, Motorz offers a realistic look at what lies beneath the installation instructions that empowers viewers. Now completing its fifth season, Motorz reaches nearly 80 million television households in the U.S. via cable and satellite television channels, and millions more via Internet distribution, video-on-demand and mobile access.

Craftsman® Tool Spokesperson at Sears®

In May, 2013 Sears Holdings Corporation (Sears) announced the selection of Chris Duke as the Craftsman tool spokesperson for Sears. The decision was part of a growing relationship between the two companies. Sears is the leader in tools and automotive repair and maintenance, and the nation’s fourth largest broad line retailer with nearly 4,000 full line and specialty retail stores in North America.

Host, eHow Auto Center

In August, 2012, Chris Duke was selected to host and co-write the new eHow Auto Center series, sponsored by Mobil 1. The eHow Auto Center, another helpful area of eHow.com produced by Demand Media, offers tips and how-to instructions for auto repair and maintenance to improve longevity, performance, safety and fuel economy for new and used gas-powered, electric or hybrid vehicles. This relationship continues into 2013.
