Admirable People

I've become aware of many people that have, in some way or another, been a great source of knowledge, perspective, critical thinking, expert opinions, and support. In an effort to share with others what I have gained from having been aware of these people, I will document those details here. As always, feel free to contact me if you think you have any suggestions on who I should be following. Generally, the people I admire and follow are intellectuals, critical thinkers, have knowledge and experience that IMHO should be shared.

Many, many more to come...
