several years ago.

He got into it with some of the people there, but everyone respected him.

The staff LOVED him. He's also pretty well-known in town as the coach of our Robotics team, so he'll probably be fine.

He has strong opinions and no problem voicing them either.

So, I think it will be fine. The person who called him was shocked that he was willing to serve. LOL.
