What can I solve for you?

Finding the signal through the noise is my super power. I thrive on complexity and enjoy solving problems by focusing on what's most relevant to the client, cutting through distractions to save time and money. My broad experience in public interest law, software engineering leadership, and public policy position me to address a variety of issues facing educators, school districts, and leaders, from special education, to artificial intelligence, to forward-looking advocacy for rational policy.

What's it like to work with me?

Open-minded and curious by nature, I enjoy asking questions, understanding my clients and opponents, and looking beneath the surface. I view the practice of law as a collaboration between the client and legal team. I strive to understand the values that motivate parties, and try to find common ground where those values converge. I aim to preserve relationships whenever possible, without compromising vigorous advocacy, and I enjoy digging deep to find the most persuasive law on a given topic.

Overview

Christian enjoys working with California clients on special education, education technology, business, and public policy matters. In addition to thorough research and counsel, he supports clients in litigation, investigations, and dispute resolution.

Before joining F3, Christian led software and systems engineering teams at social enterprise start-ups and non-profits, giving him an in-depth understanding of technology issues and business leadership, and a unique systems-oriented approach to managing complexity. During law school, Christian was an articles editor for the Santa Clara Law Review, and worked to correct bias in the criminal justice system at the Northern California Innocence Project.

As the son of a public educator, Christian readily relates to teachers and districts working hard to meet and exceed the needs of every student they serve.

After School

I recharge by connecting with nature. I enjoy exploring all of California's natural beauty, from the Lost Coast to the mountains of Yosemite, with a pack strapped to my back. I also enjoy scuba diving, dancing under the stars, and traveling the world to better understand how we're all connected.
