About Chris Schnabel

I currently serve as Senior Content Manager for the Houston Texans, where I lead digital storytelling and content strategy for one of the NFL’s premier franchises. In this role, I oversee original content development, social media execution, and end-to-end production across platforms including Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and X. My focus is building scalable content systems, launching original series, and creating authentic, high-impact storytelling that drives audience growth, fan engagement, and brand loyalty across the Texans’ digital ecosystem.Outside of the NFL, I’m the creator and host of Mad Props, a long-form interview podcast centered on sports, entertainment, and culture, and the founder of Schnabel Studios, a creative production company established in 2015. Through both, I’ve worked with athletes, brands, and media organizations to produce video, audio, and social content that connects with audiences and delivers measurable growth. At my core, I’m passionate about sports, leadership, and building creative teams that thrive in fast-paced, ever-evolving digital environments.
