To my good friend Jason Thompson, thanks for believing when the times were tough.
To my mom and dad for instilling courage in me at a young age, and giving me guidance when I was lost.
And finally to my girlfriend Julia for your shining integrity, your endless optimism and your creative instincts. And to our son Dash and his happy feet. Your smile brings tears to my eyes. You are my inspiration. This book is dedicated to you both.
