Christopher earned his GED in 2009 from the Cass Lake ALC and he was very proud of that.

He was a true outdoors man and he enjoyed snowmobiling, yard work and taking drives to look at the scenery and listening to music.   He also liked to watch crazy TV shows that made him laugh!  He was known for his crazy selfies, with wigs and other things. He had all types of filters to make him look funny.
