J eff Christian lived the high lifebefore he was brought low bydrugs, alcohol and what henow describes as “an ego thatwas out of control.”His world today is very different.

Prison has a way of doing that.Mr. Christian used to be a bigshot. He was the man who built executive search firm Christian &Timbers (now known as CT Part-ners) into a national powerhousethat, most famously, handled thesearch that placed Carly Fiorina inthe CEO suite at Hewlett-Packard in1999. Mr. Christian was quoted

frequently in The Wall Street Journaland other national publications,did work for blue-chip technologyclients including Microsoft andspent more time in Silicon Valley andon the road than he did at home.“My whole life was about money

and success,” he said in an inter-view last week.That changed in December 2006,

when Mr. Christian was indicted onreckless homicide and involuntarymanslaughter charges. The chargesstemmed from the drug overdosedeath the previous spring of 31-year-old Thomas Wasil, who hadattended a party at Mr. Christian’sAurora home.The tragedy pulled back the cur-

tain on Mr. Christian’s private life,which was in turmoil due to drugand alcohol addiction. On Oct. 22,2007, Mr. Christian received athree-year sentence for his role inMr. Wasil’s death; he enteredprison that day and, under terms ofa plea deal, served exactly one yearin jail.
