Will you shoot a sequel to He Got Game using Ray Allen again, except this time he's the dad and Andrew Wiggins or Jabari Parker is his kid?

You've said this a few times about "being a better person", so my question to you is how? What are you doing to be a better person, and what do you think it means to be a better person?

Here is where I'm coming from on this question - someone in my immediate family was murdered (in phoenix actually, not too long before your own incident). In this case, the defendant was convicted on murder 1 and is sitting on death row in florence. I actually don't agree with the death penalty, but I definitely don't want him ever released so in that regard, I think the system worked.

In your case, you plead down and now you're out and you want to be a better person. You served your time, and I agree with that but you still broke one of society's most sacred codes and it's something that I feel you should always be making up for. I think "being a better person" should really mean something other than a bullshit generic platitude that you've made it sound like so far in your AMA.

So that's my question - what is being a better person? You've been given a tremendous gift by not spending your natural life in prison but you owe society something back, and something that is meaningful. Have you considered doing any kind of victim outreach work (not with your victims, since they hate you, but others)? Are you doing any kind of work to reach kids that are the same phony-phoenix-gangster that you once were? Sorry for the length, and I appreciate your AMA and hope you don't think I am being hostile, but I think it is a good question.

Well honest answers are a good start, so thanks for that. Good luck to you, I hope you'll be able to find a deeper purpose for the gift you've been given and I also hope that the victims family can find a way to forgive you (or move on) because you appear to have sincerely grown from what happened and want to do better in society.

Mostly flying questions here.

How long have you been flying for? And what made you pursue your instrument rating?

Do you feel the amount of standards and regulation you had to learn/memorize for the trucking industry helped you a lot when you studied for your aviation ratings?

Did you rent planes from random airports during your down time on the road? Because I could see that being a huge perk of the job. Drive all over the country and fly all over it at the same time!
