Creating what otherwise would not occur
What I’m Creating
I’m driven by one goal: creating possibilities for people to live longer, healthier, and more fun lives. The common link in everything I do—whether it’s solving FSHD, inventing the new industry of technical apparel with lululemon, or investing with Wilson Capital—is a clear vision and the ability to propel ideas into action. From the Wilson School of Design to creating parks, public art, and education, it’s all about helping people to move, grow, and live life to the fullest.
