Acknowledgments
There are so many people to thank. My life has been filled with wonderful experiences, mentors, friends, and families. I am blessed in so many ways.
Relating to the writings in this book, I can't thank Secretary Carson enough for the leadership, wisdom, and guidance he provided, not only to me but to everyone at HUD.

I also thank Brian Montgomery for his counsel and mentorship at HUD. He is deeply experienced within the walls of the Beltway, and I could listen to Brian's stories all day long. I'm glad we are all still in touch.
