Christopher Redding

I was never a writer, constantly failing English in school, I felt that writing was not for me. Over 20 years later Danielle and I started a blog, weird right. Danielle loves to write and supports me in my own writing as she creates her own content on this blog. We got our start on YouTube "ChrisDoesWhat" to improve ourselves, we continue to help others. Then we expanded our YouTube Channel with this blog, it seemed like a logical next step. We continual are looking for ways to improve ourselves, who knows where the journey will take us, what our next steps will be. We met in Washington State at Fort Lewis Army base and got married 3 months later in 1997. We have traveled the world at first only because of the Army, later we traveled on our own cause we loved it. We have two adult size boys, one in the AirForce, the other in HighSchool and taking college classes.

Custom Boat Speaker Plates Painted - Chris Does What

Custom Boat Speaker Plates Painted EP #42 || Bayliner Bowrider 175
