Dedications
Dedicated to Madison, Emma, Jaxon, Ethan, Eli, and Robbie, the six wonderful children to whom I am blessed to be known as Grampy. They fill my days with joy and fun, especially after a hard day of writing or working for their namesake, MEJEER, LLC.
John Davis
First and foremost, I would like to dedicate this book to my loving wife, Sharyl. Without your support, I would not be able to commit the time necessary to co-author a book. Thank you for believing in me and allowing me to have the time for my many endeavors. I would also like to dedicate this book to my children: Zachary, Brianna, Eileen, Susan, Keenan, and Maura.
Steve Baca
I would like to dedicate this book to my wife, Angela, and our daughter, Emma. May it be a reminder of pushing for bigger and brighter things in life. I love you both with all of my heart.
