When I first read the profile, I was actually incredibly impressed by the courage he displayed in not hiding anything about who he is.

In my experience, it's difficult to display a high level of courage about revealing the truth about myself and at the same time commit to moderating the image I present so as to avoid public-relations failures. At some point, tradeoffs become necessary.
