After this he moved into his current position.  

“Although I’ve accomplished so much during my career here, I always remember where I come from, as it keeps me grounded. My parents taught me strong and simple values and I am what I am today because of their support. Growing up in a large, extended family nurtured my interpersonal skills. I love being around people.”
