Time Is The Most Valuable Thing You

To Me, Money Is A Means To Do Good. I Reached A Point In My Life Where I Had Enjoyed Tremendous Business Success That Afforded My Family Everything We Could Possibly Want. My Wife And I Then Decided That We Could Use Our Wealth To Make A Difference. So We Created The Broad Foundations To Do Four Things: To Improve Urban Public Education, To Support Innovative Scientific And Medical Research, To Foster Art Appreciation For Audiences Worldwide And To Support Civic Initiatives In Los Angeles.

The Biggest Barrier We've Seen To Student Progress Is This: School Policies And Practices Often Prevent Good Teachers From Doing Great Work And Even Dissuade Some Talented Americans From Entering The Profession. This Needs To Change.

I Can Imagine No More Important Contribution To Our Country's Future Than A Long-term Commitment To Improving Urban K-12 Public Schools.

While I Am Proud Of A Number Of Accomplishments, There Are Real Costs To Being Unreasonable. Long Hours. Too Little Time With Family. A Near Incapacity For, As They Say, Stopping And Smelling The Roses.

I'm Strong-willed. Architects Are Strong-willed. You Get The Best Results With A Strong Client And A Strong Architect Working Together.
