“I have seen the impact that Winning Futures has on students and the successes of the people who have gone through the program,” Christman said. “It is amazing to see all the opportunities available to young adults today. In a changing world, young people need life coaching, encouragement, and real-world experiences that will help them become confident, independent leaders. I’m excited to help Winning Futures expand that impact.”
Throughout his career, Christman has earned a reputation as a collaborative leader and problem solver. At Walbridge, he is known for helping resolve complex contractual and operational challenges while driving continuous improvement.
