Always gives his honest, critical, and maybe a little bit snarky opinion on everything. He&#8217;s very detail oriented and loves anything involving creativity and innovation. You&#8217;re better off asking him who his favorite director is rather than his favorite film. So beware and get ready to be entertained.
