I've never done too much inquiry into angels.

I'm not actually pop culture or social media savvy. I really didn't know what Twitter was when I created an account.

I paid my way through college as a carpenter and a woodworker. So I've built the house I live in and most of the furniture that's in it, and I do a lot of woodworking still.
