Meet Chris Vann of St Augustine and Jacksonville

Today we’d like to introduce you to Chris Vann.

Chris, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
What a journey. But wasn’t long ago idea was created September 2025 first home game of the Jaguars. Coming down the club house I saw something that I’ve see thousand times. But never noticed it.
The 904 ORB under the DBA of THE ORB NETWORK LLC is based on tourism but with a twist. There isn’t much activity or atleast I found in America that offers a unique understanding what tourism wants. Since Jacksonville is bleak in this market. I structured the ability to bring tourism to Jacksonville. But first st Augustine.
St Augustine has tourism. Oldest city. Old roads. Unique shops all in a 2 mile by 1/2 mile. A market that has tourism guides but missing a ingredient. Spice. With heavy search and questioning how this would work and writing hundreds of ideas how it works and how it can fail. I learned something. There are entrepreneurs there are business people. And there is visionary’s. I saw what people wanted and willing to pay to feel alive when doing tours. Tested idea and suddenly became obsessed with my new found creation. The story hasn’t even begun it’s bigger than I thought.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
No. But not hard. Just time learning and most of all creating the ideas to make it work. Offered idea to as people as I could. They all said that’s different. That makes sense. But investors are shy on an idea. They like proof of concept which I had but no money. Just testing it. Made me feel even more embolded to get this going.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
