As a member of the Wasps, Christian learned the value of hard work and diligent game preparation. He was presented with the Mangoday Warrior Award by Coach Johnson in 2006, an award given to the hardest worker, toughest player, and the one who puts the team before himself.

His father is currently a Physical Education teacher at Charles City High School in Charles City, Va. where he also coaches track and field and football. His brother is currently in his second year as the Assistant Men’s Basketball Coach at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg, Va.
