Dedication

I would like to dedicate this book to my family, Jenny, Happy, Raleigh, Katie, and Kelsie. It is their patience with my 80–90 hour work weeks that have provided me with the experiences necessary to write this book.

Lest I forget, I must also thank my two wolf hounds, Rupert and Switters, who kept me company during the long hours writing this book.
