Christian also coordinates the MBNEP’s Government Networks Committee (GNC) which works with local elected and municipal officials in protecting the natural resources that sustain coastal Alabama’s economy and quality of life.
He is a 2001 graduate of Jacksonville State University with a BS in Biology and Environmental Science, and a 2003 graduate of Auburn University with a MS in Fisheries Science and Aquaculture.

A native of Talladega (by way of Danville, KY), Christian has always been drawn to the northern Gulf Coast and now calls Mobile home where he lives with his wife, Katherine, and daughter Lyanna Grace, and his Springer Spaniel, Summer. He enjoys hiking, photography, and fishing poorly as time allows.
