He said, “I think that comes from, in the best sense of the way, my grandfather’s amazing work ethic. He started his life, a first-generation Russian immigrant. Both of his parents were illiterate. He bought into this thing called the American dream and had the backbone to do the work and really turn it into a reality and built a beautiful family.”

He continued, “Those traits permeated through our family and always wanted to be a go-getter. If it didn’t happen positively then it was going to happen negatively. I was going to get some attention one way or the other, I guess.”

It is nice to see Cameron doing well these days and the whole family getting along!
