Then Preston opens up about his day job at his family's janitorial business, growing up cleaning buildings at night, weathering the recession and COVID as essential workers, the grandmothers who shaped him, and how he leans on community to keep moonlighting as mayor.Do You Even Live Here? is produced in partnership with Beacon Media.
