In addition to being a full-time freelance photographer, Christie is an accomplished writer with publication credits in numerous magazines.

An active member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA) and the North American Nature Photographers Association (NANPA), his images have received critical acclaim by both groups. OWAA has honored Christie's work with first place awards in various contests in each of the last 10 years. Three times, including 2009, his images have received the OWAA Presidents' Choice Award for the top photograph in all contests that year. NANPA has selected two of Christie's images for the 2011 Showcase.
