Daniel likes computers, grammar, and coffee.

Ben is married to Rachel and they are blessed with four children.

Jack is married to Holly, and they have children and many grandchildren. Jack's previous job was that of an 'extra' in various bloody battle scenes in the Netflix series 'Vikings'.

Jack also continues to work hard at cultivating an epic-sized beard.
