He has worked as a furniture deliveryman, professional tutor, programmer, youth minister, computer system administrator and teacher at a community college.

He lives in Selah, WA with his lovely wife and two lovely and obedient children. A Lifetime of Talk, a Wealth of ExperienceChris Weedin began speaking formally at age thirteen, when he was chosen as student speaker for his Eight Grade Commencement ceremony. He hasn't stopped since, also speaking at his High School graduation, college graduation and almost every day thereafter, much to the dismay of family and friends. Noted for his innovation, warmth, tongue-in-cheek humor and immediate connection with his audience, Weedin has delivered presentations and speeches to groups of all sizes and in all manner of settings, from corporate gatherings to school assemblies, church retreats to bookstore socials, professional conferences to gaming conventions. His wealth of life experiences and love for public speaking shows in every engagement, and he continually seeks to hone his skills as a communicator and to find new ways to entertain, enlighten and inspire his audiences.
