Outside of work? In life? My family. That’s my priority.

biggest priority: Outside of work? In life? My family. That’s my priority. I have a beautiful wife and two extraordinary boys. And, I think that my biggest priority in life is making sure that my boys, and my wife too, but i mean for me, as a man, right? That I raise men. That I raise my boys to be Godly men, but also just men of truth, men of value, just men of respect. That people look up to them as a role model. So I try to be that role model for them. It’s very very, it’s extremely hard. It’s a lot of pressure that I put on myself. But, that is my purpose, I think, is to make sure that..there is a lot of misconception about men in general, about fathers, so for me to just dispel that misconception for my boys, and make sure that they really understand what it is to be a man, what it is to be a father, what it is to be a husband. and just to be leaders. To feel like they have a purpose themselves.

superpower: Man. I don’t have an off switch. When it comes down to it, I will, I can, go and go and go until I’m literally exhausted, and then I have a little bit left. I think that’s what it really comes down to, is that I don’t know how to turn off. For myself. Because I need to turn off for myself sometimes. We all need to just - like I can’t do it anymore. I think for me, that superpower, is that I don’t know how to do that and I continue to go and go and go. And there’s a downfall to that. But I think that would be my superpower. I enjoy being helpful to people and so I just put myself out there to go do things for others.
