The very first stock I bought right out of college was Berkshire Hathaway.
Most of my friends from college became dental hygienists or went into retail, a lot went into sales. They all started getting married and having kids and buying homes and I was still living like a college student.
My mother raised me in the church. I was not allowed to stay home on Sunday; there was no option. I sang in the choir all the way up until I went to college.

I had the notion that I wanted to write the great dirty American novel, so I went to Roanoke College on the GI Bill.
My favorite NBA team are the houston rockets and favorite college team are the duke blue devils.
