Kristopher was born in Bryan , Texas on August 29, 1979 and grew up in the Katy and Simonton , Texas area. He attended Mayde Creek High School and later went to work as an ROV Supervisor for Canyon Offshore, a Helix ESG company.
He married Erin Stanley on November 10, 2007, in Santa Fe , Texas, the love of his life, his beloved "E". Together they made their home in League City , Texas .
