Profile

Born and raised in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Christian attended Messiah to complete his undergraduate degree (Class of '11), during which time he spent a semester abroad in Viña del Mar, Chile. After graduating from Messiah, Christian settled in the Mechanicsburg area with his wife Leslie (also a Messiah alum). In addition to teaching SPAN 101 at Messiah, Christian teaches Spanish at the high school level at Central Dauphin High School, where he teaches Spanish II and AP Spanish. When he's not in class, Christian enjoys spending time with his family (he and Leslie have a son, a daughter and another daughter on the way), hiking, serving on the tech team at Daybreak Church and listening to music on vinyl records.
