SOMETHING SURPRISING: I worked a lot of blue collar jobs in my teens and 20s. A real learning experience was working as a deckhand on a shrimp boat during college. We went out for over a week at a time. … That’s some hard, sweaty work.
HOBBY: My main hobby is the water. Backwater boating and fishing.
