I'd like to thank my friends and family and my wonderful fiancee, Cara, who is the most supportive and amazing partner a man could wish for. I would also like to dedicate this book to my amazing mother, Maria, whom I lost earlier this year. She shaped me into the man I am today, and I could not be more thankful to her. I love you and miss you, mom.
