Class 2013
Christian started playing football at 8 years old. He began his playing career down south in Pinellas County Tampa Bay, Florida where he played in the ‘Pop Warner Football League’ with the Palm Harbor Panthers. Growing up his position changed frequently from tight end to quarterback, but he always had a passion for throwing the ball. At the age of 11, he had an opportunity to work out individually with John Kaleo, the quarterback for the Tampa Bay Storm in the arena football league who at that time had a 2007 Arena Bowl Championship and accomplished 14 years with a variety of records. Christian learned a lot from his distinct teaching and his way of enforcing mechanics and technique as a quarterback. Since then he has played Brampton Bulldogs football for three years, starting at peewee and now in his second year of junior varsity.

The most influential people in his football career have been “Coach Nate (Quarterback Coach and Offensive Coordinator for Brampton Bulldogs), Coach Ian Smith (President of Brampton Minor Football Association) and Coach Bernie Defour (Head Coach of Brampton Bulldogs Junior Varsity 2010 and 2011 season).” Christian credits his father for such strong support of him in football and life.
Christian was born in Ottawa but moved to Palm Harbor, Tampa, Florida when he was nine months old. He celebrated his first birthday in Palm Harbor, Tampa, Florida and lived/raised there for 12 years until returning back to Brampton January 26th, 2008. He is a religious Christian individual who gives all his thanks to God and attends Church every week.
