Top three favorite Hoovers' in ascending order: Herbert Hoover, Hoover vacuums, Ryan Hoover. I don't even think Herbie Hoover knew a thing about helicopters or night vision goggles. Ryan Hoover is a CH-47 Crew Chief employed by a company that specializes in aerial wildfire suppression. It sounds fancy because it is fancy. He's one of the most interesting guys I've had the pleasure to know and he took time out of his busy schedule to speak with me about everything from deployments to Lionel Richie to his fantastic thrift finds at Goodwill. You can find him on Instagram @rbhoovs and on TikTok @itsthehoovs. Enjoy the slice.
