Sunday

Big supporter of Dem politics. He has an annual open house at his offices (super fun) and occasional fundraisers for Dem candidates. He is just like you see on TV. Down to earth and companionable. Lives by this quote: "Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness."- Mark Twain
