    I like this guy. There is no pretension there. He is lucky that at such a young age he is intelligent, has common sense, honesty. and knows what he wants, it takes most Americans till their 30s and older to finally get it right. His upbringing was probably supportive. He is going places. people like to invest in intelligence, ambition and honesty.
