People who inspired me: My father and my late grandmother have been the two greatest inspirations in my life. Both my dad and grandmother were always supportive and encouraged me both as a child and a young man to pursue my dreams and passions. My grandmother, in particular, always believed I was capable of accomplishing whatever I put my mind to. In addition, I was inspired by President Ronald Reagan. I was incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to hear President Reagan speak in-person when I was 18 years old. President Reagan captivated me by his presence, charisma, and confidence and stirred emotions within me that have led me to pursue a second career in public service. Finally, Abraham Lincoln is my favorite President and has been a great source of inspiration as well. President Lincoln was an example of what every a public official should aspire to be: honest, selfless, determined, and principled!
