“Abraham Lincoln because of his perserverance.”

“Easily, it’s George Washington. He had the power to appoint himself as a dictator after the American Revolution. Instead, he became the only man in history who could demand absolute power and maintain the humility to abdicate it for the betterment of society. Washington was the epitome of a leader.”
Tony DePasquale • President, Elysien Private Wealth
“Probably, George Washington. The Revolution would not have succeed without his leadership. He declined a lifetime of presidency and, in so doing, helped establish the tradition of peaceful transfer of power through elections. This is the essence of the American system of government.”
Evangelin Lee • Associate Attorney, Smith, Currie & Hancock LLP
“Many run for President to fulfill dreams of ambition and power. Ronald Reagan was driven to serve America out of concern that the Nation was drifting from the principles embodied in the Constitution by our Founders, and preserved throughout our history by men and women willing to fight for them.”
Joe Brown • President, Jones Vargas Law Firm
“Former President George W Bush, held office during what some say were the most tumultuous in world history, he led with humility and strength. He embraced his humanity which enabled him to connect with the public . I respect the amount of trust he bestowed on his team. He overcame personal trials and openly talked about them, while not allowing those issues to define him.”
Kelly Thomas-Boyers • Executve Director, Adam’s Place
“As a foodie and runner myself, I have to say Bill Clinton. He loved having a White House Chef and since he ate whatever he wanted, he jogged; basically working out to eat. The government even built a track around the White House so he could jog while in office.”
