Personal Background

Christian is from Kansas City, Missouri, married to his wife since 2016 and father to a son. Being a “military brat,” he grew up all over the country, learning the value to cultural experiences and richness community has with diversity. He is an avid reader of theology, rock climbs, CrossFit and does all things outdoors. Christian spends most of his free time reading, getting a good cup of coffee with good company or watching film. He has worked closely with his local church teaching theology to better understand the scriptures and their Lord. Theological education is one of his greatest passions and he invests in any way he can to help others in this way.
