Christian is the public policy manager of the Carbon Capture Coalition, which is convened and staffed by the Great Plains Institute. The coalition brings together more than 100 companies, unions, and conservation and environmental policy organizations, building federal policy support to enable economywide, commercial-scale deployment of carbon management technologies.

Based in Washington, DC, Christian works with coalition staff to design, enact, and implement the next generation of policies necessary to deploy the full suite of carbon management technologies at the pace required by midcentury climate goals.

He joined the Great Plains Institute in 2023, having previously worked as a policy associate at the Plant Based Foods Association (PBFA), where he helped advance policy priorities aimed at transitioning our food system away from animal agriculture. Christian also served as an honors law clerk at the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He holds a JD from the George Washington University Law School and a BA from Georgetown University.
