Then, when the country shut down, Bullock began working remotely. "Now they want me to start traveling again and visiting car dealerships," he said. "I don't want to do that at all."

Bullock said he likes working from home and spending more time with his friends and family in Salt Lake City. "I realized this is the only way I want to live."
