Highly accomplished in multiple areas of business, the arts, and real estate. My public passions are justice and its flip side, injustice. One of my gifts is to recognize patterns in anything, and to see what they mean and imply for the future. My purpose on CH is to discover humanity and find where my gifts are best used.
