He pushed me to find the motivation to become a better person and even taught me valuable lessons to help me push on. To see him on here being the person he is meant to be just amazes me. Keep being awesome!

      I'm sure things were put into motion after the show. not just him, but the kids, they have to gas those mowers up so it's probably pushing them to them find a way to do work to make some money to fill the tanks. I'm sure he does the same thing, he probably has another job or he may just have paying clients as well as the ones he does for free
