Christian is the founder and managing partner of CPM Group.  He has been analyzing and writing about commodities markets since 1975, first as a journalist and from a political economics perspective, and later as an analyst.  He managed the commodities research group at J. Aron and Goldman Sachs from 1980 until 1986, when he spun that department out of Goldman to create CPM.

He authored "Commodities Rising" (John Wiley & Sons, 2006), a book for individual investors that was designed to debunk many of the myths related to commodities investments.
