WHAT SOCIAL ISSUES ARE CURRENTLY MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU?
They are all important to me. If we could just love everyone we come in contact with every day, from all walks of life, we could change the world. And if everything we do and say came from love, we would impact so many people in a positive way.

My family has played a huge role in helping me become a better leader.

Integrity. You won’t have any regrets if you act with integrity.
