I’d like to thank you, because you most likely helped me over a wall, gave me a ride to a race, got me unstuck from some barbed wire, or allowed me to do the same for you.
Last but not least, I would like to thank my family. My wife, Stacie: Honey, you are the most supportive human being a husband could ask for. Also, my kids Emma, Jaxson, and River: You remind me every day of what is really important.
