It was funny as when I met him a few times he responded the same way.

"You're from Minnesota? Can I talk to you about hunting? They told me I shouldn't do that in California ..."

I didn't hunt but I let the man tell his story ;)

I usually feel pretty disconnected from executive types and so on but I liked that guy. I liked him so much I was suspicious all over again as that's not how I feel about those guys usually. He was actually fun to be around.
