I definitely got my philanthropic genes from my mom and dad. They taught me from a very early age to always lend a helping hand to anyone in need, and I hope to raise my daughter to be a very kind and charitable person.

Philanthropy is my job.

Coming from a family of preachers, the idea of giving back has been part of my life as long as I can remember.

I'm very fortunate to have been raised in my family. I learned early about the importance of giving back.

I was always taught about the importance of giving back and helping those less fortunate. I think it's also incredibly rewarding.

Philanthropy is the thing that I am really excited about, and having success means I can do more.

I always knew that I would give back. My mother and my father both believe you have to work hard and give back. That's why I was a volunteer firefighter, that's why I worked in a homeless shelter. I always knew I'd give back, elective office or not.

If I get the chance to be philanthropic, I want to help kids and teachers.

I'm just so very lucky to be able to do what I do for a living, and giving back is a way for me to express my gratitude. I'm so lucky to be in a position to help people, and that's appealing to me.

I always had the old-school model that I'm going to work for as long as I'm relevant and focus on for-profit activities and someday when I retire I'm going to learn about philanthropy.
