Christian has been a tour guide in Boston for more then twenty years. Specializing in the early years of the American Revolution, he builds his tour around the words of William Faulkner, "The past is never dead. It's not even past." That is an easy thing to do in a city like Boston, where history comes alive on every corner. He was educated as Boston College where he studied History and Secondary Education. His work as a high school history teacher has honed his skills at making the stories he tells engaging to even the most distracted listener. Recently he has developed an adult education class that uses a multi sensory technique to connect the Boston we know today with the historic stories she holds. An avid sailor and runner, Christian lives in Braintree, MA with his wife and 13 year old daughter.
