Early life and education
Price grew up in Dallas, where he graduated from St. Mark's School of Texas, the son of a Christian mother and a Jewish father. He was inducted into the Cum Laude society, and served as editor of The Marksmen, the school's yearbook, as well as a contributing member of The ReMarker. He then graduated summa cum laude from Georgetown University, where he studied international relations at the School of Foreign Service, which named him the class Salutatorian. He chose this university and field of study in anticipation of joining the CIA after graduation. He later earned a master's degree from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government, where he was a Public Service Fellow and earned a citation for a superior master's thesis.
