Two of his biggest out of school, non-family accomplishment is holding the Fond du Lac Buffalo Wild Wings Blazin’ Challenge for almost a year, eating 12 of the hottest wings in 2 minutes and 15 seconds and caddying for the President George H. W. Bush.
If it's a good idea and it gets you excited, try it, and if it bursts into flames, that's going to be exciting too. People always ask, "What is your greatest failure?" I always have the same answer - We're working on it right now, it's going to be awesome!
