Kristopher was born in the City of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He is an only child. Kristopher discovered he had a love for the stage very early in life; landing a small role in his high school's production of A Midsummer's Night Dream. He received a degree in theatre from the University of Winnipeg, where he was very active in a number of productions. It wasn't long before Kristopher landed a role in a children's series called 2030CE. Not long afterwards he was cast in the lead role of Lex in director David DeCoteau's film The Brotherhood III: Young Demons (2002) (V). Following Kristopher's success in that film, he was able to score another leading role, this time as Gus in the MTV Movie production, Everybody's Doing It (2002) (TV). Following this success, Kristopher decided to return to the theatre, promptly landing a lead role in a local Winnipeg theatrical production of Athol Fugard's Master Harold...and the boys.
