So, I work in behavioral health. I really got into it after a few years of being a psych tech. Moved to a new facility, and my boss was a 6'2 guy with dark-ish skin, built like a brick shit house. He wore a small leather pouch on a necklace, and had bunned up black hair.

Guy became my mentor. I saw him handle scary shit with ease, and NEVER crack, while treating every person he met, from the CEO to the most violent client. He inspired me. I honestly believe that he deserves credit for some of the work I've done in the many years since.

Turns out, Trejo is a relative. My guy only met him a few times at family events. But... The testimony is that Danny is a hard guy with a huge heart, who's a pleasure to be around. Sounded like the guy is a bright light in the world. Really hard life, and a gnarly face, but he seems to have come through successful and kept his good heart.

I believe that. Was in the same place as him once and said hello. Judging by his entourage he's very much an ambassador of the chicano\cholo culture, but other than the appearance, everything else about him radiated this chill but welcoming kindness. Everyone was happy to see him and he just seemed happy and grateful for the treatment. Cool dude, 10/10 would admire again
