Christian has worked as supervising story producer and story producer across multiple genres of reality television, including docu-follow, docu-soap, documentary, and VO-driven high-octane adventure programming. His work includes "The Real World," "The Movies That Made Us," “Mountain Men,” "Icons Unearthed," and one of the highest rated seasons of "Little People, Big World."
Yup - it’s no secret that television production can get stressful at times. Christian’s philosophy is all about balance: keeping a sense of humor and a cool head under pressure. It’s a joy to create stories that move viewers, and Christian brings that energy to every project.
He has even dabbled in acting … watch closely the opening titles to Fight of the Living Dead Season 3 on YouTube Premium … I mean really closely … and you will see Christian as the Mad Doctor drilling into the head of a zombie.
