My wife and I had the privilege of attending the Yale Sterling Fellows Dinner this year—an unforgettable evening that marked our induction into the Yale Sterling Fellows Society.
The event was a powerful reminder of how philanthropy can shape the future of education, advance groundbreaking research, and drive meaningful global impact. We are deeply honored to join such thoughtful and generous individuals who are committed to Yale’s enduring mission: “For Humanity.”
The Yale experience played a profound role in my life. I was a “financial aid kid” and to this day I remain overwhelmed by the University’s remarkable history. Giving back through the Sterling Fellows Society is one way I hope to pay forward the generosity I received.

Thank you to the entire Yale community for the warm welcome and for inspiring us to continue investing in future generations.
