Christian joined the Wilmington community with his wife Paola, son Jacob, and their fur baby Ruby in August 2017. They relocated to our area from Connecticut after Christian had become the quickest employee to become fully vested and max out his company’s pension plan. Christian and his wife had decided to relocate to the Cape Fear area after vacationing here in 2007. When the opportunity for his lovely wife to work remotely from home and a chance to avoid the winters up north became attainable, they jumped at the event.
At an early age, Christian had an internal love of Real Estate. As a young boy, he would gladly accompany his parents to showings and open houses in their search for a new home. That interest would not leave him as he matured into his late teens and twenties. Every weekend he would look forward to the new listings and open house advertisements in the Sunday paper. While attending college, Christian took the pre-licensing course in Illinois for fun but decided that college and the full-time job he was already placed in was the direction to go.
That full-time job led to a decade of assisting customers as the customer liaison and parts manager at the world’s largest and longest-running beverage equipment remanufacturer. This allowed Christians to travel the country and get to know and understand the differences in people and communities from place to place and state to state. Christian was still touring and viewing homes on the market as a hobby during this time.
Approaching 30 and assisting in a family issue in the east, he decided it was time to move on to Connecticut. This allowed him to be close to his mother and her siblings and family in Maine. It was early during his time there that he met his wife. While there, Christian worked for one of the largest boutique beer distributors on the east coast. Christian stayed with the company for over 14 years, working in delivery, warehousing, and sales. Whether delivering or dealing with direct sales, he was always excellent at putting the customer at ease, understanding precisely what the customer was looking to achieve, and then assisting in that goal. This knack enabled him to purchase a snack food distribution company and turn a 67% profit in two years.
