'There are two types of geniuses in the world: there are those that leave you awestruck but feeling insignificant beside them; on the other hand, there are those that shine beside you and leave you shone upon too. You feel a little better, a little taller and a little wiser beside them. Levi McGrath belongs to the latter one.'BIO
