Spears was born Khristofor Lawl Rossianov in Chicago, but his German Catholic family also lived in Rochester and Minneapolis, Minnesota. He has two older brothers, one younger brother, and two older sisters. He came out to his family when he was 12, and at school when he was 16. He was constantly ridiculed with gay epithets as a result, and so he withdrew from all social circles. He kept a calendar filled with check marks for days when he caught flak at school for being gay, and those calendars were ultimately filled with check marks. Spears withdrew into a fantasy world to cope, and started to fantasize about being a more attractive man based on the men who posed for such magazines as "Playgirl." After school, Spears worked as a diesel mechanic in Chicago and Minneapolis, and caught flak from the blue-collar men he worked with for being gay. It got to the point where he dreaded getting in his car everyday and going to work. Spears had a friend in the business named Joey Morgan, who is also from Minneapolis. Morgan took Spears to a bar called The Saloon in Minneapolis where Chi Chi La Rue was doing a show, and introduced them. Spears and LaRue became fast friends, and LaRue used him for a video called Handjobs 3 (1993) (V). From there, Spears took off in the gay adult industry which he still works in today. In 1996 Spears retired from the gay adult industry after falling in love with Matthew Rush, who would also go on to star in gay adult films. Spears had hoped the relationship would be long-term, but after they broke up, he bulked up with a lot more muscle and returned to the industry in 2004. Spears owns two Chow dogs, and when he is not doing adult films he works as a personal trainer, and as a bartender at The Faultline in Los Angeles. He considers himself to be very fortunate that he has worked in the industry for as long as he has, knowing that most models only last a few years or months. In his career, he has performed in dozens of videos and worked for most of the biggest studios in gay adult entertainment, including Catalina, HIS Video, Mustang, Men of Odyssey, Hot House Entertainment, Colt Studios, Vivid Video, Falcon, Channel 1 Releasing, Metro, Hot Desert Knights, Massive Studio, and more. He is known for refusing to shave his body hair or to work at being more "cut" with his muscular physique, his deep growling voice, and the "explosive" manner in which he climaxes on film. Spears is equally comfortable "topping" and "bottoming" in his videos, and criticizes models who insist that they are only one or the other.
