Christopher and his wife, Cindy, are blessed to have a musical family. All three of their grown children are accomplished musicians.  Christopher regularly plays his instruments for worship and enjoys bicycling and browsing antique stores and flea markets for treasures, especially vintage saxophones and trumpets, antique radios, pocket knives, and fountain pens.
