Favorite part about the job? When parents of young children learn that I prosecute child pornography cases, they thank me. It's a wonderful reminder of the true nature of public service.
Your first job ever? When I was 12 years old I referreed pee-wee soccer games. And yes, parents will even argue calls with a 12-year-old.
Favorite book? It took me 120 days of reading to complete it, but I read the Bible cover to cover and after that, regular books don't really compare. I usually read spy fiction or history books. My favorite history book is Mornings on Horseback by David McCullough, about the young Theodore Roosevelt.
Favorite movie? Hoosiers
Comfort food? Walker's shortbread cookies and sweet tea
What's in your car CD player right now? Metallica Black Album, "Enter Sandman." I only listen to an iPod when I exercise.
Next journey? I honestly do not know.
Favorite Virginia vacation spot? Colonial Williamsburg and northern Rockbridge County
First political memory? Ronald Reagan's second inauguration
Whom do you admire and why? They aren't my bosses any longer, so I can honestly say that I admire both Bob McDonnell and Bill Mims. As exceptionally intelligent and high-profile as they both are, they can both relate to anyone they meet. Both are honest men of integrity. I have learned a lot from both of them simply by observing the way they conduct themselves.
Best advice you ever got? Never, ever compromise your integrity.
If you could have dinner with any one currently living, whom would it be? Drew Brees,quarterback for the New Orleans Saints.
Describe a perfect day. No day is perfect. The important thing is that at the end of the day, you made that day count. Do something to improve yourself, be kind to people, do something good for someone and tell your family you love them.
Ambition, political or otherwise? I'd love to be Governor of Virginia one day.
