“There are all sorts of politicians who have colorful personal lives. I don’t.”
Christopher Eisgruber ’83 graduated at the top of the world’s best universities and climbed to the top of his favorite one. He is, by all accounts, a family-first husband and father, a role model even for his friends, a brilliant thinker, a dry wit and a kind soul. A former boss of his once wondered jokingly if he was so perfect that he was a fraud.
Eisgruber, when asked about his life struggles, mentioned receiving a C in freshman year physics.
