He then attended Augsburg College in Minneapolis, where he chased his Bachelor of the Arts in Electric Bass Performance (2007) under the guidance of local legends Anthony Cox & Terry Burns. During his tenure at Augsburg, Christopher was exposed to a plethora of different aspects of study such as extensive music theory training, jazz/classical studies, composition, music history, and the innate intricacies of music business. In addition to this, he was also a long-standing member of the Augsburg College Jazz/Gospel Praise Band & Augsburg Choir, as well as a private music theory tutor to an innumerable amount of students and primary creator of the jazz improvisation classes & electric bass program that are still currently in use.
