His first book, White American Youth, documents his early days as one of the first Nazi skinheads in America to form a band and tour Europe. He quickly rose in prominence among "CASH: Chicago Area Skin Heads" (later rebranded as the Northern Hammerskins chapter) by creating propaganda for the movement.

Christian speaks about those days, what made him leave the movement forever, how he learned to become an instrument in Breaking Hate (His second book), his love of music, his band, and his current career as a FIREFIGHTER!
