President Donald Trump has named Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, replacing Tulsi Gabbard, who recently announced plans to step down from the role at the end of June.
Pulte will continue serving as FHFA director and chairman of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac while taking on the acting intelligence role, according to Trump.
As attention turns to the businessman-turned-government official, here's what is known about his family life.
Bill Pulte, 38, is the grandson of William J "Bill" Pulte Sr, the founder of PulteGroup, one of the largest homebuilding companies in American history.
Pulte keeps his personal life largely private, but in a rare interview with the Detroit Free Press in December 2021, he opened up slightly about his home life.
He attended Northwestern University, where he met his wife, a chemical engineer, whom he described as "the smart one" in the family.
The couple had two daughters who were ages 2 and 4 at the time.
The family lives in Florida, where Pulte was interviewed at his office in Boca Raton in late 2021.
