Okay, Minnesota Vikings fans... This one's for you! I was blessed with the opportunity to meet former Vikings and xz* - Seattle Seahawks WR Nathaniel E Burleson at the East-West #shrinebowl in Las Vegas last week. He spent his time talking to as many Shriners as he could and is all around a great guy!

It was a pleasure working under Tom as an intern for a few semesters during my days at Valparaiso University. You couldn't ask to share an office with a nicer, more genuine human being. Chicago will miss you, Tom! Enjoy retirement 😎
