In 1990 he completed an MBA in Finance from the Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University.

Over the course of his career, Christian has worked in the institutional markets as a U.S. equity salesman, a junior international economist, a money market and foreign exchange corporate trader in bank treasury, an interest rate salesman, a U.S. product specialist based in Hong Kong and now a Financial Advisor and Insurance agent at Blue Ocean Wealth Solutions, an agency of MassMutual. In his current role Christian works with individuals and businesses in structuring life insurance and disability insurance plans, corporate benefits, college savings and retirement plans.
