Bio
Jon L.
I had the pleasure of working with Christian as I took over his responsibilities when he changed positions due to his expertise being needed elsewhere in the company. Christian is not just a fantastic digital marketing expert, but a very caring and congenial individual. I learned a lot from Christian that has helped, and I am sure will continue to help, my career moving forward. I couldn't recommend him more.

Christian helped National Storage Affiliates (NYSE:NSA) transition the paid search program from iStorage (which National Storage Affiliates purchase on 10/4/2016). His knowledge, guidance and experience made the transition easy and allowed National Storage Affiliates to hit the ground running. Many of the paid search strategic elements he put together are still utilized by National Storage Affiliates to this day. A top notch paid search guru who I wish we could have convinced to move to Denver and take the role at National Storage Affiliates.
