Unman's explanation is great, as usual. I'll just add links to some
sources that may be helpful in establishing the validity of my key, in
case you're interested:

https://www.qubes-os.org/team/#andrew-david-wong (fingerprint)
https://andrewdavidwong.com/ (fingerprint)
https://andrewdavidwong.com/adw.asc (key)
https://andrewdavidwong.com/fingerprints.txt (signed statement of other 
fingerprints)
https://keybase.io/adw (fingerprint, key, and social media proofs)
https://github.com/andrewdavidwong/keys (keys)

We always strongly recommend reading this (if you haven't already):
