On Principles & Values:
Raised with strong faith, no conflict with love for science
As a son of two preachers, I was raised with a strong sense of faith. This faith has never collided with my love for science -- in fact, it only made it grow stronger. I attended Morehouse College on a NASA Scholarship, for physics and math, then
studied at MIT to become a nuclear engineer and earn a Ph.D. in urban planning. I was blessed to run the Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub, which provided the tools and technology Arkansans needed to build businesses and create jobs.
