The thing I find very unusual is that he is an assistant professor moonlighting as an Uber driver! Why would he do that? If he's an assistant professor at his young age, he is likely tenure track. That requires tons of work and research on top of teaching. Tenure track professors have to work nonstop. There's no way he'd have time to drive Ubers on the side, especially considering he has a wife and children.
Of course, if he actually is just an adjunct or a visiting assistant prof, then it would make more sense that he'd drive an Uber. Adjuncts and VAPs are treated like garbage and make little money, but in some ways are less busy because they don't need to be battling for tenure, attending faculty meetings/committees, or scrambling to get publications, etc. Driving Uber as an adjunct or VAP seems believable.
Bottom line: I would be very interested in knowing what his actual position at the university was. If he is tenure track and driving an Uber then I find that highly suspicious and indicative of someone with sinister ulterior motives.
