88: Drew & Cristina Gregory

A little about our guests. Both Cristina and Drew are lovers of all things outdoors and adventurous. Which is great since that is what their business is all about. Cristina loves working with children and animals and was a teacher for a number of years. She also enjoys photography and traveling to new, fun places. Drew grew up with entrepreneurial parents and has been surrounded by couples in business and in love. His dad was his sports inspiration and his mom was his outdoors inspiration. His parents also instilled a deep faith in him as well as the importance of living a balanced life. When Drew met Cristina and figured out she might be the one, finding out she enjoyed travel and the outdoors sealed the deal. They hope to start a family in the future (although they won’t say how long we have to wait!) Right now, they enjoy building their business, traveling and fixing up the new house they bought and making it into a home. A little about their business. Drew started out working with Jackson Kayak. He is a part owner and designer of fishing kayaks. From there he created the TV show “Hooked on Wild Waters” and started a kayak fishing tournament trail company called “River Bassin Tournament Trail.” Both companies fall under the umbrella of Deep Creek Ventures. When Drew and Cristina met and started talking about marriage, Drew asked Cristina if she could see herself quitting her teaching position to travel and work with Drew to be part of Deep Creek Ventures. Cristina said YES to both and a third YES to the marriage proposal. One piece of advice (the nutshell version) Skill sets should determine who does what in the business. You always need to be learning, adapting and changing. Reading Material Since Drew and Cristina are newlyweds, they are reading tons of marriage books.
