Chris McKenna

A leading voice on digital safety, Chris testified before the U.S. Senate in 2019, sparking more than 25 hearings on online child protection. Under his leadership, Protect Young Eyes received the Dignity Defense Award and the Phase Alliance Child Safety Award. He co-authored the Child Device Protection Bill, now law in Utah and Alabama, requiring devices to enable content filters for minors.

Chris serves as a technical advisor and represents the Human Change Movement, speaking globally, including at the World Economic Forum, and collaborating with advocates, tech leaders, and legislators. Featured in the film Childhood 2.0, Protect Young Eyes equips families with practical safety tools. His debut book, Five Habits of the Tech-Ready Family, has been praised as “comprehensive” and “illuminating” by Publishers Weekly.

He values family life, roadtrips in the minivan, running for reflection, and precious time with his wife, Andrea, four children, and two dogs.
