Christopher Check is an American Catholic leader, speaker, and executive with a distinguished career spanning military service, conservative media, publishing, education, and Catholic advocacy. A graduate of Rice University, he served for seven years as a field artillery officer in the United States Marine Corps, attaining the rank of captain and participating in deployments and expeditions in the Far East and the Persian Gulf during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Following his military tenure, Check dedicated nearly two decades to The Rockford Institute, a conservative think tank, where he rose to the position of vice president. In this role, he contributed to publishing initiatives, including the conservative magazine Chronicles, and engaged in radio broadcasting, education, and broader conservative Catholic advocacy efforts. Transitioning to focused Catholic evangelization, Check has become a prominent voice in the New Evangelization movement, speaking on topics such as philosophy, saints, and Catholic doctrine. He has been affiliated with organizations like Catholic Answers as a speaker, though claims of him serving as president there appear unverified or outdated. Currently, he serves as President and CEO of the Sophia Institute, a Catholic non-profit organization dedicated to publishing and promoting Catholic teachings, where he receives compensation. His work emphasizes traditional Catholic values, intellectual formation, and cultural influence within conservative circles, positioning him as a key figure in networks of Catholic and conservative influence.
