Christian is a graduate of Father Andrew White and a 2021 graduate of St. Mary’s Ryken. He was in his first year at Penn State Altoona.

At Ryken he played on the school football team for a couple years, ran track, and spent his junior and senior year on the sailing team, where he lettered. He wrote for Penn State Altoona Collegiate Review. Every year he looked forward to the family trip to Lime Rock Park, CT, to watch sports car racing. He also enjoyed going to amusement parks, especially Hershey Park.
