Dr. Christopher Culver is a highly sought-after, dynamic, and engaging thought leader, keynote speaker, and founder of Orange Sparrow, where he helps organizations, leaders, and teams transform through The Science of Kindness. His energetic keynotes and workshops merge vulnerability, neuroscience, leadership, and humanity to create spaces where people feel seen, valued, and inspired to thrive.

A proud product of Oklahoma public education, Dr. Culver’s story began between Tulsa, a 300-acre farm in Wyandotte, and Fayetteville, North Carolina, an upbringing that taught him the power of perspective, empathy, and grit.

For more than a decade, he served educational communities as a classroom teacher, secondary principal, and cabinet-level administrator. Today, he brings that same servant-leader mindset to all corners of the globe, guiding spaces to reimagine success through belonging, compassion, and connection.

Dr. Culver is a member of the Board of Directors for the Virtue Center focused on holistic healing and recovery, former Vice President of Oklahoma Citizens for Education, and the former President of the Oklahoma Association for Bilingual Education. As an adjunct professor, Chris teaches future teachers and leaders how to cultivate trust, autonomy, and purpose through kindness.

He believes that If you cannot find the light, be the light because kindness is not one more thing. It is the thing that changes everything.
