I found this section very interesting. Helps explains why he battles so hard for the little guy

"I got through finals and my wife had our kids packed up. We literally got in the car at 9:00 p.m., drove to South Dakota through the night. It really wasn't Christmas because at the same time the bank sent the drop-dead letter, they froze my parents' checking account, so they couldn't buy diesel fuel, they couldn't buy heating oil for the house, they couldn't buy groceries. The thing that saved my family is that Dad did some custom work for people, grinding hay or moving snow, and they would pay him in cash, and that's how he bought food for the house and paid the electric bill, while the bank had their bank account frozen. All of that struggle and injustice got me interested in bankruptcy law."
