World-travelling country boy from the Appalachian foothills. I'm as comfortable digging ditches as I am rubbing elbows with foreign diplomats. Both can be satisfying and both can get you dirty, all at the same time.

Interestingly, just last year I was in Riyadh during Founder’s Day in the Boulevard City area. When we left the traffic was so thick that we couldn’t get an Uber in to take us back to the hotel so we walked for several blocks trying to get to where we could get an Uber. Suddenly a shiny new SUV pulled up and offered us a ride. It turned out to be a Saudi diplomat, friends of the Crown Prince, who went well out of his way to make sure we were taken care of.
