My Bio
Born in a prison cell to an incarcerated mother and a father unknown, Christian D. Green has overcome many obstacles rare, atypical and uncommon to others.
Being raised in the legal custody of his grandparents, he was forced to move all over California. His journey began with his birth in San Bernardino, CA, to Fresno, then back to Lancaster, CA at 12 years old. Through his travels, Christian received the devastating news at 15 years of age that his grandmother had passed away. It was this life changing event that turned his life upside down causing him to rebel and neglect his educational goals.
