About Christopher Cheeseman

Christopher Cheeseman was born in Colombia, South America, before being adopted by his loving parents, Gerard & Maryann Cheeseman, where they raised him in Oakdale. Graduating from Connetquot High School and starting college at 16-years-old, Christopher has always loved to learn and help others. Earning several college degrees, including Media Arts & Communications, Business and Education, Christopher went on to work in textiles in New York City, followed by several management positions on the Las Vegas Strip, before completely changing things up and becoming a professional dancer and model for several years, before returning to New York, where he worked in special events, eventually becoming the vice president of a luxury special events and manufacturing company. In 2015, after feeling unfulfilled at his job, Christopher approached his husband, and The CJ Team Co-founder, Jonathan Finnerty, and said, "I want to resign from my job and start a real estate team with you. We'll call it The CJ Team." Jonathan was taken by surprise, but not shocked, since Christopher had always had a love for real estate and helping people. Within months, The CJ Team was born.  Christopher was able to take what he learned from his years of education and job experience and apply it to creating a team of realtors that pride themselves on serving ALL of Long Island, from Western Nassau to the East End, ETHICALLY, HONESTLY and PASSIONATELY!  In addition to helping their clients find their oasis, they enjoy volunteering, especially when it comes to rescue animal organizations. On a personal note, Christopher loves to write, hike, kayak and spend time with Jonathan and their pack of rescue dogs!
