I ’ve fuck living here and now , I appreciate it . For the first 18 geezerhood of my life-time , I lived in the little town ofCourtland , KSin Northeast Kansas . A lilliputian townspeople with big dreams and huge action . Kansas is full of those bantam township with mighty hoi polloi with vast spirit .
I originate up learning the ropes of an enterpriser and I always say I inherit some of that entrepreneurial spirit . Many entrepreneurs made their home in Kansas , including the beginner of White Castle and Pizza Hut . My own family own plumbing shop and I grew up learning the business . The shop was started by my Grandpa in 1964 .
