Acknowledgments

I would like to thank my wonderful wife, Jennifer, for her support and patience during the project and for all of her enthusiasm and encouragement. I enjoy every day of our adventure together. I would also like to thank my children, Peyton and Jake. No dream is too big for you to dream and if you put your mind to it, step by step (or chapter by chapter) you can achieve anything you set your mind to. You three are the reasons why I do what I do and I love you all.

To my mom and dad, thank you for always supporting me, listening, and encouraging me, no matter how crazy the idea was. Thank you dad for teaching me to troubleshoot; you prepared me in ways you'll never know because you taught me to solve problems.

A special thanks to my technical reviewers; I appreciate the valuable work you did. All of your notes and suggestions helped make this book the best possible resource it could be. Thank you to the Packt Publishing team who worked on this book. Thank you to my managers and executive staff at Horry Telephone Cooperative for allowing me to pursue this opportunity.
