SURPRISING REVELATIONS
Growing up, his parents taught him the value of honesty—the whole ‘If I lie, it will take 100 more to cover’ really stuck. Guilty pleasure? Definitely ice cream. As for his mantra, “they don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” When it comes to what he wants people to remember, it’s the connections he forged for causes close to his heart and the positive vibes he brought to every interaction. And oh, the last time he laughed until he cried? “My wife manages to pull that off at least once a week.”
