As kids, we don't get to pick our parents. "But wow, was I lucky," says North Valley resident W. Scott Jenkins, Jr. who grew up under the watchful eye of his father and uncle—both local attorneys. "I remember sitting at my dad's office when I would work for his firm in the summer as a file clerk—learning a new life lesson each day simply by listening," says Jenkins. 

And while the lessons learned in that office were great, perhaps the greatest lessons learned from a young age were about giving back.

"My family and really our mother, always instilled in us that doing well for ourselves was simply not enough. Rather, to be a man of great value meant to use your own skillset to make other people's lives better," says Jenkins.
