Nick, you were born in the little town of Minooka, Illinois.

Minooka.
That's right, yes.
And your mom was a nurse.
Your dad taught social studies at the local high school.
And I understand you grew up working on your grandparents' farm where they grew corn and beans and raised pigs.
What kind of work did you do on the farm?
