From Wikipedia:
Levi's father, Timber Dick, was a businessman, inventor, and administrator at the University of Denver's School of Engineering and Computer Sciences. The son of Colorado's first female lieutenant governor, Nancy E. Dick, Timber died from burn wounds following a 2008 automobile accident.[4][5] Levi, with his brothers Corban and Tomicah accepted the NASA "Create the Future" award for their work with their father on an ultra high-efficiency engine.[4]
Levi's mother, Annette, is a Jewish convert to Mormonism and daughter of Tom Lantos.[6] While serving on a mission, Levi left the faith when he was unable to reconcile the logical and liberal outlook his parents had instilled in him with perceived inconsistencies in church doctrine.[4]
At 15, he started college at Regis University, transferring to Yale University[6] at 16 where he graduated with honors. He then earned a PhD from Johns Hopkins University's School of Advanced International Studies in Japan and China studies.[7][8] He speaks Chinese, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese.[9]
