Daniel Robertson exhibits grittiness, blue-collar work ethic of his construction-working father

CLEVELAND: Daniel Robertson grew up in a mobile home in La Puente, Calif, his father a construction worker and his mother employed at a super market.

Growing up, Robertson watched as his father, Michael, woke up at 4 a.m. for work every morning. Michael Robertson made himself lunch in the dark, sat in traffic for a couple hours, worked his shift at the construction yard, sat in another couple hours of traffic on the way back and then came home to his family, never once complaining or letting up on his fatherly duties.

Well, that’s just working hard.
