Greg Parham, assistant secretary for administration, USDA

Suppose you trained to take care of livestock, maybe the family fido. You might not expect to end up as the number two executive at a large federal department. But that's what happened to Greg Parham, the assistant secretary of Agriculture for administration. He was also named as a few fellow at the National Academy of Public Administration. Parham told Federal Drive with Tom Temin there's just something about public management.
