There are so many people who have helped me get to where I am today, but it would take another book. So to keep things short, I would like to thank my three children, Kristy, Marc, and Elizabeth for being awesome, my parents for buying me that first computer, my nerd friends for nerding out with me, but mostly I would like to thank my wife, Michele, for supporting me in my life and career, and enduring my never-ending stream of technobabble and Dad jokes.
