he is direct, clear, confident, competent, and warm.

02/12/2026

He was rushing to get out like there was a fire he had to get to or something. Don’t explain anything to ya. Won’t be back to see him again.

He understands what people are saying. Never jumps to conclusion with half information. Demonstrate kindness while asking clarifying questions.
