Who We Are: Meet Chris, Danielle, and Our Big Dreams

⚓ Our Journey: About ChrisDoesWhat “With Danielle”

​Welcome to our story! We are Chris and Danielle, a husband and wife team (married since 1997) who decided that life is too short not to chase our biggest dreams. After decades of cooking, DIY, and raising two boys, we’re now on a new adventure: sharing our life, lessons, blunders, and triumphs with you.

​What We Do: The Ho Maid Chef® Brand

​You’ll notice our registered trademark, Ho Maid Chef®, across everything we do. This name is our way of celebrating the important jobs in a relationship. To us, it means being each other’s partner—or Ho Maid Chef—in all aspects of life, supporting one another to cook, clean, create, and build a great life together.

  • Chris Does What: The IT pro, ranch kid, and self-taught DIYer. Chris tackles boat restoration, home projects, and shares the technical details in his videos and blog expansion.
  • Dining In With Danielle: The culinary expert. Danielle has been cooking from scratch since she was a child. She develops original, easy, and budget-friendly recipes with a focus on healthy eating, driven by her ultimate dream of writing a cookbook.
