Acknowledgments

This journey would not have been possible without my family. Jacob and Juliana, you are my Captain Toothless and Princess Sourpuss, my Bubba and my baby girl. Jennifer, I know you were just as stressed as I was with the book. I have wanted only the best for you and the kids. Whenever I am with you I feel safe. Like I am home. I am glad I am home. I love you so much.

I also have to thank my parents for all the support and encouragement over the years. I appreciated it more than you know.

Thanks goes to Robyn Thomas, my editor, without whose insight and motivation I could not have gotten through video after video after video after video.

To Rob Schwartz, the brains behind brainbuffet.com and this book series. Thanks for involving me in this endeavor. I owe you a lotgoing all the way back to Rickards and McFatter. I admire your tenacity, brilliance, and modesty.

Jonathan Gordon

Thanks go to editor Robyn Thomas, who kept the project together; and to Chad Chelius, whose deep knowledge of InDesign helped ensure the technical accuracy of this book. And a mountain of thanks to Sarah, who patiently supported me during the long hours of writing this book.
