Christian and his family immigrated to the United States from the Philippines when he was just a child, but he gained an early appreciation for nature and the environment from his childhood overseas - which eventually led to him founding two businesses oriented in environmental sustainability. Outside of work, Christian enjoys spending time with his family and sharing his love for tinkering, 3D printing, and gaming with his 3-year-old daughter.
Aside from his MBA from IE Business school, Christian also holds an MS and BS in Engineering Technology from the University of Houston, where he built a lab-scale device for producing more efficient fuel cell electrodes for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) using parts from a CNC carving machine and various hardware store items.
