Handshake Man

Richard Weaver is a mysterious Californian man known by the nickname Handshake Man. Weaver has earned notoriety for the way he is frequently able to bypass the US Secret Service and shake the hand of the American President.

Weaver has been able to personally shake hands with every US President since Jimmy Carter, in some cases even multiple times on different occasions. He is considered to be a very clever man in the way he is consistently able to bypass the Secret Service, despite the fact that they are well aware of his antics.

Not much is known about Weaver other than the fact that he is apparently a strong, possibly fundamentalist Christian of some sort. His handshakes are often used as a way of passing "notes from God" to the presidents.
