I’ve been highlighting some of thoughts from around the web on topics ranging from business and philanthropy to art and society. I hope that by sharing these insights, I’m contributing to the pool of knowledge that is freely accessible to everyone online and creating an environment for discussion. To that end, I’ve recently participated in several video interviews that are currently posted on YouTube. I feel that this platform provides an ideal forum for sharing and I look forward to receiving your comments.

In speaking on “The Importance of Art,” I offer my thoughts from the standpoint of an appreciator, an investor and a philanthropist. The art world represents a rare opportunity to combine many of my passions into a singular endeavor and it’s vital that we continue to support the institutions that make it possible.
