This book is dedicated to two people who have been my loudest cheerleaders and close friends.

Kim Patti:You have not only singlehandedly built the ship on which we are sailing, but you have given me a new lease on life. I never would have thought Id find a man I could say I love almost like a father.

Latanya Henry:You are my partner in crime, a trusted confidant, an incredible sounding board, and such a great cheerleader for what I want to do. You believe in me more than I am able to believe in myself at times. We switch from teacher to student so often, and thats what has made my friendship with you so special. Thank you.

FIRST AND FOREMOST,Id love to thank my mother, Cristela Concepcion. My mom continues to be an inspiration to me. She shows me daily how hard work and respect are important things to live by. La quiero mucho mama.

To my wife, Jennifer Concepcion: I would shout to the world that if ever someone needs to see the definition of an amazing mother, they should look no further than you. Thank you for being such a rock and guiding light for me and our Sabine. I am thankful for your love, and so incredibly proud of you. You are the most incredible fifth grade teacher, and it makes me so proud to walk through your school with some swagger, bragging that I know you.

To my brothers, Victor, Everardo, David, Jesus, Carlos, and Tito: While time and distance keeps our conversations short, I cannot help but laugh out loud at all of the foolishness I see in our text threads. That has been such a gift.

To Danielle and Jim Bontempi: Your support as in-laws is overshadowed only by your love of me as one of your own. I am grateful to have you in my life.
