Dr. Christiansen is an educator, editor and genius vintage car mechanic.

He accompanied Dan McNichol on four nationwide media tours covering over 50,000 miles of road trips—each time in vintage Hudson automobiles. The Christiansen-McNichol duo successfully garnered local and national media attention calling for reconstructing the nation’s infrastructure. “I keep the Hudsons running so Dan can keep his mouth running,” explains Christiansen.

He honed his editing skills creating technical test questions for science and technology examinations for Massachusetts public schools, retiring in 2019 after twenty years in this role.

Born in New York City, Christiansen worked on the New York City’s subway system modernizing the switches in the oldest parts of the system in Manhattan. From 1959 until 1961 he was an inspector of the subway system mechanical systems. He also worked on a project monitoring the development of electronic test equipment at NYU.
