I'm a full-on appetizer kind of guy. I'm a Lunchables fanatic, too. I like anything tiny that you can make in front of you and eat. I'm fascinated by that. I don't know why but it's something I've always had.
Charlie BarnettI love people. I love understanding people, why they do the things they do, and why they make the decisions they make. It kind of just over time escalated into realizing that I could... experience that interest and get paid at the same time.

It's all things that we should know and we think about initially, but during the holidays, in the commotion it seems to get kind of lost.
