Interesting bio. I presume from his name that he's Jewish.
His record includes Boston Latin and Harvard. Boston Latin is known as a school where very bright kids who can't afford the prep school route can get a great education and get into places like Harvard. As it happens, one of my roommates at Harvard way back when was a Jewish kid who came there from Boston Latin.
In other words I suspect that this guy is bright, ambitious, hard driving, and largely self-made. His daddy didn't buy him a place at Harvard, he made it on his own.
Good luck to him.
He's Catholic. Golden can be either an Irish or Jewish name.
Right. Though it's a public school, it's an exam school---students have to pass a tough test and get through a rigorous admissions process in order to be admitted to it. It's the gem of the Boston public school system.
