Life Path 22 – Master Builder & Visionary Diplomat. 

As a Life Path 22, I’m driven to build meaningful structures — not only physical ones like commercial scale greenhouses and engineered systems, but economic bridges between people, businesses, and nations. I bring together logic and vision, leadership and humility, strategy and heart. I see my future in diplomacy, policy, and cross-cultural commerce — where I will help shape the future of global business, one relationship at a time.
