  • Words cannot express the pleasure it was to meet you, spend time with you, and be the recipient of your energy, beautiful precise and unique work. Having you at the shelter was wonderful in many ways.

    First, you used your talent to design rooms that are child friendly, imaginative, creative and exciting. Secondly, you made it fun, i.e (Kelly's children dancing to keep the strips down). Having a good male role model at the shelter is of course very needed. As Emma Goldman said "If I can't dance, I don't want to be part of your revolution".

    Although you are an author and a movie star, you are humble and hard working *definitely not a prima-donna). Please accept my sincere appreciation and gratitude for your talents, resources, direction and dedication.

  • I worked with Karl Champley for over 10 years and I would say he is one of the most knowledgeable people in the home improvement community. Karl has the ability to make people very comfortable in front of the camera and delivers information in a way anyone can understand.

Karl has the ability to make people very comfortable in front of the camera and delivers information in a way anyone can understand. When it comes to hosting TV shows, no one is better. Karl is great a taking direction, willing to do whatever it takes to get the shot... he always enjoyed being creative with scenes and never turned down a request. I'm sure all the crew members that have worked with Karl in the past would jump at the opportunity to work with him again.I know i would.

  • Karl Champley is one of the most talented and enjoyable people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He has a commanding presence and helps keep the crew focused and driving forward. Mr. Champley has a range of talents that cross over from the responsibilities of on-camera talent to the technical aspects of both production and some very unique knowledge of rigging and safety that make him an indispensable asset on any production. I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to work together in the future.

  • It is always a pleasure to work with Karl. He is truly one of a kind. Producing the "NIMBY PROJECT" was a challenge and Karl made it fun while working 17 hour days. He is talented, kind, and a person that adds value to any team he is apart of. I hope to work with Karl on many productions to come. He is one of my favorite people to collaborate and work with.

  • One might say that I inherited Karl Champley. He was already co-hosting the uber-successful DIY series "To The Rescue" when he began hosting the show I was launching called, "Wasted Spaces." Together he and I had to find a way to bring his trademark charm and unending knowledge to a new show in a crowded field of do it yourself series. I found Karl's willingness to collaborate a key component to the success of Wasted Spaces, which in spite of having ceased production in 2007, continues to air on HGTV in repeats in a prime time slot. As Executive Producer my job is to manage about 2 dozen different people and three times as many components to the series and keep it not only going forward, but rising upward. When you have a teammate like Karl working toward the same goal, that process becomes not only easier, but much more fun.

    Karl's greatest strength beyond the obvious architecture and construction talent is connecting with the people he's speaking to whether it's one-on-one in the scene or directly to the viewer at home through the lens. People pay attention and react when he talks. He conveys information in an easy to understand way and he empowers people to believe they too can take chances and do things they didn't they could. Whether it's convincing someone to paint colors instead of neutrals in their kitchen or coaching a person through the use of a mitre saw or explaining how to hang cabinetry, Karl is more than just knowledgable, he is patient, kind, and very often hilarious. In the end, one of the best litmus tests is whether the crew wants to work with someone again. In Karl's case, crew members line up to have that chance. I give Karl Champley my highest recommendation as an on-camera personality, behind the scenes consultant, and member of the human race.
