Christian has a background as an entertainer spanning back to 1986 when he started working on cruise ships as a night club DJ and worked his way up to become one of the youngest cruise directors in Royal Caribbean International history. From there his wit garnered him additional credits as a punch-up writer for “Hidden Hills” and a writer for the “Rodney” pilot, as well as several jobs working as a radio producer (music and talk radio) for both local and national broadcasts.
Most recently he served at Angel Wings Entertainment as executive in charge of production for a national TV show pilot spotlighting the unrecognized heroes which are all around us. Special honors were bestowed to Christian for his MOMA’s House story in Phoenix about human trafficking, and by Camp Pendleton in San Diego for his work on the Wounded Warrior Games Marine Corps Trials.
He is currently developing a new show for television which incorporates and celebrates the values of altruism and fairness.

Behind The Scenes
Despite all of my hard work, the real magic comes from the amazing people who speak on camera and share their lives so that a meaningful story can be told. I have been blessed to work with some great human beings, many of which say the most incredible things on camera. Thanks to all of them.
