About Me
- 'Rick Gray
- My influences include a lawyer's bias toward traditional conservatism; a problem-solver's temperamental orientation toward change; an inherited confidence in a nation which has provided opportunity to millions and met enormous challenges in the past; and an informed awareness of how far the present generation has fallen short of that tradition. With three degrees from the University of Virginia (earned over four different decades), I'm a lifelong student, especially of history and biography. I've practiced law, served as Secretary of the Commonwealth of Virginia, taught high school, and worked as a professional actor and journalist. For several years, I was full-time caregiver to my mother, in her 90s. Welcome!
