Besides my family, I
have great interest in
strengthening this
country and our economy.
Fixing our failing
schools so we can better
compete with emerging
Asia and making health
care more affordable
through free market
reforms. And, most
importantly, winning the
war against the
jihadists to ensure that
Americans are kept safe.

“The pursuit of the

always used to quote.

| About Me |
I was born in Detroit,
Michigan, on March 12,
1947. After graduating
from Cranbrook School, I
went to Stanford
University. My sophomore
year, I transferred to
Brigham Young University
to pursue my high school
sweetheart, Ann … whom I
married over 40 years
ago and with whom I’ve
had five boys – Tagg,
Matt, Josh, Ben and
Craig, who in turn
married five wonderful
women – Jen, Laurie,
Jen, Andelyne and Mary –
and we now have sixteen
beautiful grandchildren.
After graduating with highest honors from BYU in 1971, I wanted to go to business school, but my dad wanted me to go to law school. We ended up reaching a compromise: I did both … by enrolling in a joint program between Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School. I graduated cum laude from law school and in the top 5% of my business school class, and then joined the Boston Consulting Group. In 1978, I moved to Bain and Company, a Boston-based management consulting firm. And, in 1984, I founded Bain Capital, a venture capital firm that has launched hundreds of companies on a successful course, including Staples, Domino's Pizza, and The Sports Authority. Later, when the 2002 Winter Olympics was facing a financial crisis, I was asked to help turn the Games around in Salt Lake City. From 2003 to 2007, I had the privilege of serving as the Governor of Massachusetts, where I balanced the budget every year of my administration; strengthened the education system so that young people could compete for well paying jobs in the global economy; and enacted a private, market-based health care reform which ensured that every Massachusetts citizen will have insurance. I enjoyed the experience of running for president in 2008, even though we came up short, and spent the last few years helping elect conservative candidates across the country as honorary chairman of the Free and Strong America PAC. Recently, I announced that I am exploring another presidential bid to become the Republican nominee in 2012 and would be humbled to have your support. |
