My father, was a judge. He has a very strong sense of right and wrong. (He would never even take a pencil from work because it wasn’t his.)

Along with this hard and fast sense of ethics, my father also gave me my blue eyes and blond hair and my athletic body. I run and that basic need to move my body is a gift I received from him.

He gave me my passion and ambition, and with that comes willfulness. The fact that I get up early and work as intensely as I do is because that’s what I was taught. As such, I attribute so many of my own qualities to what I saw in him. He is a charming man, and perhaps a little rubbed off on me.

What did you learn from your father?
