Trivia

He has German and Irish, as well as Scots-Irish and Scottish, ancestry.

I pretty much live about 10 minutes from my office. I have two kids, and I have about 8 projects that I'm working on, so I basically just get up and go to work, and go home every night and play with my kids, so I don't really know.
