Chris and Avery had grown up only 2 blocks apart, but as kids I don't think they expected to be this close in their later years in life. But Avery is sure happy this is the case! Besides having a kick ass Wife, Chris has always been an amazing friend to Avery. And when Avery introduced Cody to Chris, they bonded quickly as Chris is an easy person to get along with.
