  Christopher, AKA Christopher's Factory is an American YouTuber, content creator, and internet personality. He was born and raised in central Texas.

He has a special affinity for electronics and homemade wind turbines.  (Okay, I'll write in first-person from here) Is Christopher's Factory an Engineer? No. I went to school for finance, my first love. I've always been enthralled by the world of finance. I like to joke around that while being into stocks and crypto is fairly vogue now, when I was a teenager, it was relatively niche, and largely unheard of for someone my age.
