My wife and family, to say the least, are the center of my life; they are my grounding. I don't want to sound schmaltzy, but they are my inspiration and you name it.

My professional life has been about public service. My personal life I define very intently through my family.

While this has been a private part of my family's life, it is now clear a media story will soon emerge. My father tragically ended his life while battling terminal cancer in 1979.

I am very much a Red Sox fan; I can name you more players than you could possibly imagine. It's just part of who I am.

I come personally from a broken family, divorced very early in my childhood, a family with its own share of troubles, so I think that was very influential in both me believing that someday I would consistently devote myself to my own family that I created, but I think it also really affects my view of the world.

My parents were divorced when I was young. I was really brought up by my mother's side of the family.
