Profile
Name: Burton Hendrickson (38) Tribe Designation: Bompuka Current Residence: Cedar Rapids, IA Occupation: Labourer Interview: „My name is Burton Hendrickson, I am 38 years old and I work as a labourer in a glass-making factory. All my life I’ve been this really strong-minded, dog-eat-dog type person because it’s a wild world out there and there are hundreds of people striving for the same job that you are. So I would say that I have very tough skin. I am not afraid to speak my mind, I actually created a labourers‘ union in our factory to better our incomes because, let’s be real, labourers don’t get paid much as it is but we weren’t getting sh*t. "(laughing)" But that also shows you that I am not just a hick from the middle of Iowa, I have some brains too because running a union, it ain’t easy, let’s just say that. I have a wife and son who’s six years old so of course I am here for th family. They are a huge inspiration, you kidding me? I was able to talk my boss into giving me a larger salary, I am sure I can talk my competitors into giving me a million dollars. "(laughing)" I am phsyically fit, I am mentally strong and I also like playing strategic games because that’s a way to train your brain. So I would say the only part of the game that I am worried about would be the social game because I can be a bit of a hothead and what I say goes and if it doesn’t…let’s not get into that right now. "(snickering)" I’ll definitely try to downplay my attitude because you have to be able to connect with people in this game and I am good at that. I just have to hide the fact that I have a big ego, that’s all.“
