"Don't live life in a vacuum."
A graduate of Bates College in Lewiston, Maine, Ashley captained the tennis team her senior year and graduated with a B.A. in English in 1986. A college internship in Washington D.C. led to a position as a Trip Coordinator in the Office of Presidential Advance following graduation. At the close of the Reagan Administration, Ashley was offered a position at the Department of Housing and Urban Development working in Jack Kemp’s Office of Public Affairs. Ultimately, however, Ashley’s sense of family duty kicked in, and she returned home to California to work in the family’s fledgling wine business, marry and start a family.
