I was raised in a family dedicated to public service.

I was born into public service.

Going back to high school and college, I believed I would be involved in public service. I literally could not conceptualize anything else.

My parents actually wanted me to join the service.

My mom raised me with the idea of doing public service, and I definitely want to go in that direction. But I also want to follow in my dad's entrepreneurial footsteps.

There's a tradition of public service in my family. I'm one of three boys that joined the military. My father was in the Peace Corps.

I've been so blessed to be part of a family that has dedicated its life to public service.

I came from a working-class family. My dad was in a union. I never forgot what it was like to be a private.

My professional life has been about public service. My personal life I define very intently through my family.

My parents taught me service - not by saying, but by doing. That was my culture, the culture of my family.
