Christian’s background spans diverse roles across engineering, operations, and corporate development. Formerly the VP of Corporate Development and Chief of Staff at Circle Graphics, a leading manufacturer of consumer wall decor and outdoor advertising printed media, Christian served as the CEO's right hand, leading major corporate initiatives and M&A activities. His earlier roles at Circle included Product Manager and Process Engineer, where he was instrumental in launching new product lines and sustainably growing the business. Previously, Christian began his career by designing and building a pilot plant for a welding technology startup in the oil and gas industry.

He holds a B.S. in Chemical and Biochemical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines and an MBA from the University of Chicago, graduating with a concentration in entrepreneurship and as a Wallman Scholar.

Outside of work, Christian spends most of his time with his growing family, but he may sneak away for a long distance run or a round of golf.
