A note before the list

The people closest to me come first.

My parents, grandparents, family and friends shaped how I think, work and treat others. This page is for them first. What follows is a growing list of public figures whose work helped me put words and ideas to that foundation.

How to read this list

Admiration is not agreement.

These are not endorsements of everything these people have said or done. Each gave me an idea, a habit or an example that changed how I think. In several cases, my admiration has survived even as my agreement has faded.
