I founded Milblogging.com in September 2005. Prior to Milblogging, I ran a military blog from Afghanistan while I was deployed with the Army National Guard during Operation Enduring Freedom V. My original military blog "The National Guard Experience" was written as a means to stay in touch with family, friends, and supporters while on deployment. During my deployment I decided to create an aggregator site of military-related blogs from around the world. Milblogging is an internet database for organizing military blogs. It’s main attraction is its index of military blogs from all over the world. In late September 2005, I launched the website. In an effort to accelerate the spread of soldier-journalism, Milblogging was acquired by Military.com in January 2006. In June 2007, I was deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom as an Infantryman running Convoy Security missions throughout Iraq and continued to maintain Milblogging.com as well I participated in Deborah Scranton's film "Bad Voodoo's War". I returned back to the U.S. in May 2008.

Greyhawk began the blog The Mudville Gazette in March, 2003, and the MilBlogs Ring - the first "community" of military bloggers - later that year. He has blogged from Iraq in 2004-2005, and again in 2007. In 2006 he started MilBlogs, a multi-author blog/chat forum for milbloggers. In 2008 he created MilBlogs TV, launching the milblogs 'brand' into yet another new media frontier. The Mudville Gazette has experienced steady growth since it's founding in 2003. Mudville has been mentioned on Fox News, USA Today, MSNBC, WaPo and CNN, as well as in a cover story in Army Times. Though fellow military members (from young people considering a military career to veterans of America's past wars) are probably more frequent visitors to Mudville, the site is more popular among civilians looking for insight into the military or reports from the frontlines of the war on terror they cannot find in the MSM.

Before assuming editor duties at Defense Tech, Christian spent five years with the Military Times newspapers in Springfield Va., as a senior writer. He has covered military operations worldwide, embedding with Army and Marine units in both Iraq and Afghanistan, observing detention facilities at Guantanamo Bay, covering humanitarian missions in Lebanon and New Orleans, participating in training exercises at military bases from California to Florida and reporting on military policy and budgets in the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill. In 2005, Christian was awarded the Associated Press Managing Editor's Association award for investigative journalism after exposing that the Marine Corps had fielded tens of thousands of body armor vests to troops in Iraq that had not passed quality assurance testing by government auditors. He was also part of an Emmy-nominated documentary team that followed a group of Marine Corps officers from their first days of officer training to the battlefields of Iraq. In 2008, Christian became Military.com's first embed with his return to Iraq, and featured his experiences on his blog, From The Front. Raised in Charlottesville, Va., and a graduate of the University of Virginia, Christian lives on Capitol Hill with his wife Catherine, baby daughter Eliza, and his Jack Russell terriers Noor Whali and Banjo. When he's not sniffing around for the latest defense and military news, he likes to take advantage of any opportunity to slip out of town to go hunting, fishing or surfing.
