He seems like a very nice guy.

Just learned his name was Lonnie Johnson so I looked him up on wikipedia.

Found out we have the same birthday, are from the same state, grew up a few hours away from each other, and that he apparently "almost burned his house down making rocket fuel" as a child. lol TIL
