"I know that it takes more than drive and determination to turn a dream into reality. It takes credibility, critical mass, and financing. It takes having someone believe in your dream with you- someone who is willing to share his or her expertise and resources and who is committed to helping transform your vision into greatness. I myself have been fortunate to have met many talented advisors and teachers whose advice and encouragement have helped me get where I am today. Now it’s my turn to share what I have learned, to extend a hand to those willing to step up and take it."
