For Scott Ksander, who taught me that disagreeing doesnt mean that you cant be on the same page, for Joanna Grama who proved me wrong and by doing so became a wonderful friend, and for Greg Hedrick who stood between our team of security practitioners and the rest of the world so that we could excel. Thank you all!
