Welcome aboard John.
Thank you sir.
Very nice to meet you man.
I've been admiring your Instagram page and all the social media stuff forever and it's
crazy and perplexing and so I couldn't wait to get you in here and see how the hell did
you acquire this magical spot that you have in Alaska?
I'd have to give you some context.
And I grew up on an Indian mound in North Florida to give you an idea of.
An Indian mound?
Yeah, my parents moved this family down from Ohio about nine acres on the St. John's River
in 1962.
This is where I grew up and it was on top of an Indian mound.
We didn't know it at the time so I was always out digging in the mound looking for pottery
and was always captivated by looking for treasure.
And I did that as a kid and then did a lot of surfing and stuff like that as you might
think in Florida and got to be pretty good at swimming.
Ended up in high school, setting the American record in the 50 yard freestyle.
And there was a fellow and assistant coach at the University of Florida named Eddie
Reese.
You might recognize his name.
