He performed in many school plays in High School before realizing nothing else would make him happy. After graduating from Idaho State University, Christopher earned an M.F.A. in acting at Wayne State University's Hilberry Acting program in Detroit, Michigan. He lives in Chicago, with his wife, Amanda, and their two children.
