He’s been shocked and surprised at his son’s adventures, but mostly awed.
“We just kind of immediately said yes,” said Adam Miller, founder and CEO. “That kind of unique adventure really stood out.” “His achievements are remarkable,” Greenhalgh said, “but he’s also just a really great person who is interested in doing something for others and beyond himself.”
