When he first told me I was not sure what he really meant by being a complete law unto himself. Being open minded i asked him to explain this. Plus, Joe’s really successful in life with family and business so when Joe talks, I listen. Keep in mind that Joe is not your typical guy. He’s got tattoos, he never went to college, he wears biker shirts, biker boots and walks around listening to people like Kid Rock and Bono of U2.On the outside he’s really easy to judge.
