No matter where he is in the world, he always knows someone or makes connections when he can. Jase just graduated from the University of Arkansas, and works as a high school history teacher.

Danny is one of the most charismatic people you will ever meet and can hold the attention of a room like nobody else. Danny played football at the University of Kansas, and now works in sales for a supply chain company in Kansas City.
