was born and raised in Montgomery, like my father before me and like his father. I am proud to say that four generations of my family have made Montgomery their home.
As long as I can remember, I've always been passionate about public service. At 15, I volunteered on my first campaign, walking door-to-door and handing out campaign literature. I did every job they had—from putting up yard signs, to making phone calls, to cleaning the office after everyone else had gone home. I met a lot of people during those times. Most of them were proud, lifelong Alabamians—people who understood the importance of getting involved and who were eager to improve their communities. Those experiences set the course for my life.
After graduating from Brown University, I continued working on campaigns—in Virginia, Texas, and Washington, DC. I had the good fortune to see some good candidates, and learned some valuable lessons working for some bad ones. Most of all, I learned what it takes to listen. But the more time I spent helping in other states, the more I realized I needed to get home to Alabama.
