For the longest time, I thought I had to live up to my parents’ and grandparents’ legacy to make an impact. But over time, I’ve learned that simply being myself and working hard at a university I love—George Mason University—is enough. Tonight, I was honored to receive the Spirit of Giving award for my philanthropy and service to the university. As the first staff member to receive this recognition, I’m incredibly grateful. It was even more special to share this moment with my wife and friends at Mason. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey! #MasonNation #Leadership #Service #Philanthropy #Gratitude #Community #HigherEd”
