This was a very good interview. Thank you for taking the time to do an in-depth interview and posting this. He's very impressive and I loved hearing his story. I relate to him a great deal because I'm an immigrant too and know how difficult things can be when you don't have a circle of friends and family to depend on. This is very meaningful. I learned a lot from him.
