White male from Long Island. 27 years old. Chiropractor. Says 'Long Island' is pronounced as one word. Growing up near the city on Long Island was crowded. Not many trees or birds, a lot of businesses. Didn't like growing up there, but had good parents. Began playing ice hockey when he was 10 or 11, which helped his confidence and made his adolescence bearable. He had asthma as a kid. A chiropractor cured him of his asthma. Had been looking for a house for a year, found a lot of bad houses. The one he bought, he and his wife walked in and just felt it was it. A patient of his was the bank manager where he got the home loan but discovered the house had a lien on it. His wife's name is Lisa. They do everything together. Says the AMA has had it out for chiropractors for a long time and gave them a bad reputation. They have the lowest malpractice insurance rates because so few people are ever hurt by a chiropractor.
