A former Senior Editor at Texas Monthly, he is the co-creator of the Paramount+ hit series Landman, alongside Taylor Sheridan, and has been nominated for multiple National Magazine Awards.

Christian reflects on his time at the University of Galway, the impact of the MA in Writing on his career, the art of storytelling, and his journey from journalism to creating one of television’s most talked-about dramas.
