A member of The Firstman, Horncastle, Cram, Worley Group, Christian works closely with the team's high-net-worth clients, many of whom are successful executives in their respective fields, entrepreneurs facing liquidity events, or high-profile families looking to partner with an experienced advisory team. He introduces them to the strengths of J.P. Morgan, including a broad suite of investment, credit, and estate planning strategies that are central to the needs of these sophisticated individuals. In support of the group's family-office style practice, he works alongside clients' accountants and attorneys to help ensure that the totality of their financial picture is carefully considered.
Christian plays several strategic leadership roles for the group, serving as a liaison to the other divisions of J.P. Morgan—the investment bank, commercial bank, research, and lending—to align these services with each client's individualized needs. He runs point-on discussions around investment mandates and restricted stock, public offerings, hedging, monetization, and more. Christian represents the Southeast Region on the Wealth Partners Council to provide input on ways to improve the platform and share his voice on other business development decisions of the Division. He draws from the richness of his capital markets background to drive business impact for the team.
Raised in diverse international settings, Christian developed strong relationship-building skills moving from country to country with his parents, who were part of the United States Diplomatic Corps. He graduated with a B.A. from the University of Alabama and earned his M.B.A. at the University of Georgia. Christian began his career at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette/Credit Suisse, where he worked for seventeen years before joining J.P. Morgan with his team in 2015.
Christian is married and lives with his wife and two children in Atlanta, where he is a head coach for Atlanta Youth Rugby (AYR).
