Talent is distributed equally but opportunity is not. I've been the very fortunate recipient of thoughtful guidance, wisdom, and support through my life -- and it is my hope to provide enduring contributions to communities with a giving focus on education and entrepreneurship. We must re-imagine our world and build a better future. Founders Pledge aligns with my core values and I'm proud to make a public pledge of support for important causes.
