About Christopher
Biography
When I am not in the office, I pursue lots of interests. I love to play golf and tennis. I enjoy all forms of live theater, including Broadway musicals, dramas, light opera, grand opera. I also enjoy the other arts, especially classical music and viewing the works of great painters, sculptors and architects. I spend time every summer hiking, bicycling, canoeing and kayaking, particularly in Colorado. I also love to travel. Finally, as I get older, I find that I thoroughly enjoy reading classical literature and well-written histories, escpecially about American history.
I am married to the former Anne Biden Winter and have an 18 year old son who will begin college in the fall.
