I was one of those guys who never wanted to start their own business. I never saw myself as a leader. I saw myself as a great No. 2.

I helped to restore America's leadership.

I've put a lot of thought into being a leader.

I participated on debating teams and in student government, and served as senior class president.

As for leadership, I am the kind who leads reluctantly and more by example than anything else. Someone had to be on the incorporation papers as president.

Although I am a young leader, I actually came to it strangely quite late. I have a different perspective, partly because of my family, partly because of what I did for ten years: negotiating trade deals, working out in Central Asia doing assistance projects.

I never thought in terms of being a leader. I thought very simply in terms of helping people.

I got involved because I wanted to help inspire more people to get off their butts and register and vote - not just in this election, but in every other election from now on, you know?
