Hi, my name is Chris B. I am a freshman at Citrus High in Inverness. My favorite thing to do is skateboard. I competed in several competions when I lived in Miami, which by the way is in southern Florida. I never won more than third place but at least it's something. Skating is my favorite hobby but my greatest passion is music. My best friends and I are working on putting our band together but it seems like it'll take awhile. I'll most likely be playing bass but i need to get a new bass guitar… Continue
