David Karabinas

Creator Context

Summary

David Karabinas is an Emmy- and NAACP Image Award-winning producer and co-founder and chief executive of Texas Crew Productions. His long career spans documentaries, sports programming, reality television, history, streaming, and branded or unscripted production for networks and platforms including ESPN, History, Oxygen, Discovery, A&E, Fox, YouTube, and Facebook. Notable credits include The 44th President: In His Own Words, Friday Night Tykes: Steel Country, Ironman World Championship, and the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary Brian and the Boz. The Obama documentary engages directly with American political history and includes extensive participation from members of the Obama administration, while the NAACP recognition reflects work valued for its treatment of Black political leadership. Beyond those associations, Karabinas has no clearly documented activist persona, recurring public advocacy around race, gender, sexuality, or DEI, or sustained partisan or culture-war profile. His broader output is predominantly conventional documentary, sports, history, and reality programming, so the available record supports only a low score based on socially and politically relevant nonfiction rather than an identity-driven career pattern.
