I’d be satisfied just coaching in high school. I turned down a number of colleges when I was teaching in South Bend, Indiana, before I went into the service. I honestly believe that if I hadn’t enlisted in the service, I would never have left high school teaching. I’m sure I would have never left.

I used to have terrible acne on my face: red, splotchy discoloration. And mucus – I was constantly blowing my nose. Then one day, this woman sits down next to me on a bus, and says, ‘You’re lactose-intolerant.’ It all cleared up in three days. That changed my life. Doctors couldn’t figure it out.

I had no aspirations to be a musician, but I picked up a guitar for two seconds and haven’t put it down since.
I hate going out for lunch during a workday because it slows down my pace and ruins my rhythm. I prefer to eat at my desk.
