Koch is the son of George William Koch, past president of the Grocery Manufacturers Association. In 1992, he married Dorothy Bush, the only living daughter of George H. W. Bush, at a private ceremony held at Camp Davidthe only couple to have married there. They have two children, and Dorothy has two children from her first marriage.
Koch started his career in politics working for Tony Coelho and was part of his campaign to become House Majority Whip. Koch later became staff director for House Majority Leader Richard Gephardt before joining the Wine Institute.[1] Since becoming President and CEO in June 2003, membership has grown 70% to over 1,000 Californian wineries and affiliated businesses which are predominantly family owned. He has a substantial equity interest in the Central European Distribution Corporation, a company that manufactures and distributes vodka in Poland.[2]
Koch is active in raising funds to find a cure for Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.[3]

and there are a lot of them who aren't those Kochs. I know several non-Koch Kochs.
