Why is public service important to you?
I am a proud Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets graduate. The purpose of the Corps is to develop leaders of exemplary character, imbued with the concepts of selfless service and dedicated to serving the Commonwealth and the nation - in or out of uniform - for a lifetime. I believe in this purpose and try to live by the quote of one of my heroes, Muhammad Ali: 鈥淪ervice to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.鈥�
