Joseph "Joe" Lacob is a partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and the majority owner of the Golden State Warriors of the National Basketball Association (NBA).
Lacob grew up in New Bedford, Massachusetts. His father worked at a paper products company, his mother at a local supermarket. Lacob became a fan of the Boston Celtics. When Lacob was 14, the company that employed his father was sold, firing everyone except his dad, and Lacob's family relocated to Anaheim, California. Lacob subsequently became a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Lacob received a Bachelor's in Biological Sciences from the University of California, Irvine (UCI), a Master's in Public Health (epidemiology) from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and an M.B.A. from the Stanford Graduate School of Business "I was a very poor kid," Lacob said. "Had nothing. I paid every dime of my education through college. Every single dime. I was the first person to graduate from college in the history of my family. Ever. I came from nothing."
