From a very early age Christopher always knew that words can either open doors or create destruction. His father, Roberto, early on inculcated the importance in developing communication skills, something he himself always felt that he was lacking; so he introduced him into the world of great orators and speech masters. This was the beginning of fully realizing the power of presentation and delivery of the spoken word. In 2008, Christopher was still trying to navigate the waters of his purpose in life until he discovered acting by chance by doing a small role in a short film at the University of North Texas. Soon after, the acting bug got him and he dedicated himself to the craft by studying at the New York Film Academy under Maggie Reed and David Triacca. Filled with a new vigor, he joined Golden Ceiba Productions an independent film production company as Vice President, where he got his start in the indie world and later moved on to greener pastures. Since then, he has starred in such films as Habana Instant, The Strike, and co-starred in TV shows such Queen Sugar, Queen of the South, The Suicide Squad, DMZ, Black Lightning, and MacGyver. In 2018, Christopher embarked on his directorial debut documentary and is re-exploring themes of cultural and social significance that he finds close to his heart, such as immigration.
