There were rumors circulating a year or two ago about him.
Not my words, just passing on the gossip. Can be bullshit for all I know.
Supposedly he was actually fired from his Corporate on in NYC, and lies about quitting. After he got fired he fell into a small funk and then after they decided to do the travel Latin America thing. Apparently that info came from someone who worked with him in NYC and they said “he has a lot to hide”. They also said they don’t know why he moved to NYC because everything about him, from his style to presence, screams Midwestern and he never fit in much with NYers attitudes or vibe, and was just too vanilla, they said he would fit in Staten Island lol. He also doesn’t know how to interact with people of color, apparently, and that isn’t gonna work well in NYC.
He didn’t last long there.
