Dedication
I want to thank God for blessing me so richly with such a wonderful family, and I want to thank my family for their support throughout the years. My best friend and wife of over three decades, Stacey, is my biggest cheerleader and supporter through many professional and academic projects. I would not be who I am without her.
And both our sons have always been sources of support and inspiration. To Noah, who still challenges me, keeps me sharp, and tries to keep me relevant, and Isaac, who left us far too early. We miss you, son.
