Meet Christian
Running as an Independent for Wisconsin State Senate District 9
I grew up near Oostburg in rural Sheboygan County and have spent most of my adult life working, raising a family, and showing up in the same communities that I now hope to represent.
I was born in the old Plymouth Hospital in 1981 and raised in what we used to joke was the “suburbs of Oostburg,” graduating from Oostburg High School in 2000. After high school, I served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve while attending college before I was deployed to Iraq in 2004. Deployment was a seminal experience that shaped my perspective on responsibility, teamwork, and consequences.
WHO I AM
Husband. Father. Marine. Community Leader.
My life has been shaped by service, family, and a deep commitment to the communities of District 9.
Family
My wife and I are raising four kids in Sheboygan Falls. Our daily schedules revolve around school, youth sports, and the many practical realities that families face.
Service
Served in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, deployed to Iraq in 2004. That experience shaped my perspective on responsibility, teamwork, and the weight of consequences.
Work
I run a small recruiting business in town, connecting manufacturers and small businesses with working families across Wisconsin. Listen first, understand clearly, follow through.
Community
I coach youth soccer, served as treasurer for the Sheboygan Falls middle school referendum, helped organize a recreational soccer program, and am currently serving my third term on the county board.
“I am running as an Independent because our state needs practical leadership rooted in real communities; not driven by ideology, but by love for our community.”
WHY I'M RUNNING
Community over party. People over politics.
Our state needs more people who are not driven by any one particular ideology, but rather by their love for their community, to run for something bigger than themselves. I love my community. I love this district. It would be my honor to represent you in Madison.
