He also knows that for too many families across southern Michigan, hard work alone is no longer enough to get ahead.
Christian’s own path was built on that kind of hard work. He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Eastern Michigan University while working as a seasonal bricklayer and substitute teacher in Romulus, Michigan. He later taught while pursuing graduate studies at Concordia University in Ann Arbor, supporting his family while building a career in education. He and his wife Tamara did the math at the kitchen table. Rent, groceries, the utilities bills, the insurance payment, and which one could wait a week.

Born and raised in Michigan, Christian's values are rooted in his experience where hard work is valued, and communities take care of one another. A son of an immigrant family on his father's side that came to America to build a better life, and descended from a long line of Michigan ministers on his mother's side, Christian was raised to believe in faith, fairness, and service to others. He worked his way through school as a bricklayer, learning the value of an honest day's work.
