Glenn Youngkin is a homegrown Virginian who grew up in Richmond and Virginia Beach. As his father changed jobs, Governor Youngkin learned that moving around didn’t equal moving up – nothing was handed to him.

His determination to succeed earned him multiple high school basketball honors in Virginia and an athletic scholarship to college.
