Christian is an undergrad geology student at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. An author and science writer, he has been obsessed with dinosaurs and other long-extinct animals since the age of nine. As time went on, he developed an interest in geology as well. His current area of interest is correlating the events recorded in the Book of Genesis with distinct eras of Earth history as recorded in its geologic record. Christian is also the author of the "Cozi and the Chrononauts," an educational fiction series for children about natural history from a biblical perspective.
