Devin Beals, a man of many words and no lack for wit, will make a first impression one will sure never forget. He makes sure that whenever something needs to be said, it will be said. He doesn't come across rude or imposing, but rather convincing, and at the same time, frivolous. Devin will make you laugh; he will make you think. In order to get his point across, he will use any method he can conjure to make someone see it the way he does.
His hidden intention, behind the mask of him seeming to control situations, is to understand people and their reactions. As Devin puts it, "without being judgmental, I can usually figure a person out almost immediately. I'm extremely observant and pick up on little things most people wouldn't, whether it be a style of sarcasm, or different facial expressions or even what a person laughs at." He prides himself in his ability to read others. Devin claims that the relationship between himself and his last love was when he realized just how thought-manipulative he could be. However, at times, a brick wall will block his talent for understanding people. It irks him if he can’t get into someone’s head. Whenever Devin meets someone that he cannot identify with using his ability, which is a rare occurrence, he “find[s] that [those are] the only people that [he’s] interested in…these people are extremely hard to find.”
The moment one meets Devin, it is understood that he is a born leader. “My strongest leadership trait would be my energy…because I can channel my passion and energy into other people in a positive way.” Leaders like Devin make opportunities for themselves. If he wants something, he is going to do anything to attain it. Devin is not selfish in the sense that he is only looking out for himself. A common theme in Devin’s daily routine is helping people make the most of their abilities. He sees potential in everyone and everything, even if no one else does.
As Devin strives to reach his goal: restaurant/bar entrepreneurship, his last thought would be to do it by himself. His contagious attitude on life and towards other people is going to take him a long way in this life. He says that he admires his father more than anyone else in the world. Devin once asked his father after turning down a slew of great life opportunities, “ ‘if you could go back and do anything differently in your life, what would you do?’ He looked me right in the eye, and before he even said [anything], I knew [that] the answer was ‘absolutely nothing’”. Even though Devin has high hopes in life that will surely be attained, he will follow in his father’s footsteps by living with no regrets. Devin will make his time on this earth well worth it, just like he has begun to do already at his young age.
