Savannah Bozonier—the best partner I've ever had in life. Time and again she has made room in her life so I can push myself to do things that take an immense amount of time. Things like writing this book.

My friends and colleagues for their support and help which culminated in this book: Tom Hayden, Drew Fustin, and Andrew Slotnick.

My mentors across the years—Chad Boyer, Kelly Leahy, Robert Ream, James Thigpen, and Loren Bast.

My parents—I don't know what it's like to be told I can't do something. My life reflects that in every way.
