Him and I are acquaintances although I consider him a fish friend and he randomly invited me over and I couldn’t pass the opportunity up! I’ve wanted to see the tank for years and I couldn’t just ask him lol. And then one day he randomly invited me to come see the tank.
Very cool. Enjoy!
I have to say he’s the only billionaire I know but from my interactions with him and from knowing his passion and knowledge he’s incredibly humble, generous, and truly in love with the hobby and truly does give back to so many people not just in/around the hobby but to many charities and other things.
Thought you mighta met him through your school since I thought you are a teacher? He had a couple of job opps I thought about applying for since I’m thinking about retiring but was just a bit too far for me since I’m in CT and he’s in LI.
I’m not a teacher. My Mom was a director and I was a student and I got the tank donated, set up, and cared for at my local college. I had connected with him about the possibility of a donation to help fund it. But due to unforeseen circumstances I won’t get into it was a bad time for him and his team and it got put on hold and then the new director/person who replaced my Mom since she got a new job and I graduated hated the tank so it was forced to come down plus I just didn’t have the time since graduating and having a full-time job. I wish it could’ve lasted a lot longer than it did and it didn’t end how it did. But the tank lives on in another school near me.
Ah, OK. I remember reading something about a tank in a classroom. My bad.
Although many companies did help fund it and my wallet did too. But not Andrew lol.
