I don't know how old you're but you have 2 kids who are 17 and you live in the DC area you must be at least in your mid 40s, I guess it might take some time for you to hire guys your kids' age but it might happen in 20 years when you start hiring guys younger than you're are now
I'm 76, even if I wanted I couldn't hire guys closer to my age
Btw if you re in Trumpanzee controlled are nearby like South of Manassas or Cumberland Md, if your kids are 17 you might be in your early 30's.... just saying.
