I was raised in a group home for 14 years, so I was a beneficiary of philanthropy. I didn’t have a family. The nameless, faceless strangers were my family.

It’s harder, but we’re still finding oil in Oklahoma today. The bar has been raised on startup companies, but it can still be done.

I was raised Irish Catholic, but I don’t consider myself Irish Catholic: I consider myself me, an American.
