Rising Stars: Faces of the Future

Biggest Influence: My two brothers and I were raised in a highly competitive environment where education, athletics and community were heavily emphasized by my parents. My father made it very clear from a very early age that we were born into a unique situation, and that we were given opportunities not afforded to everyone. We were taught to give back to others, and to help provide everyone with the opportunity to be successful, starting with education. The generosity of my parents to the educational community is something that I strive to emulate.
