My wife and best friend Sheree is the best partner a husband could have.  We raised these girls together.

​

Rachel, Adena, and Zoe, our now full-grown daughters, provided love and feedback to me while writing this book. I truly love them and only wish them the best for their families.

​

In addition to my family, I want to thank the following people who witnessed, encouraged, and validated what Sheree and I did with our girls:

​

Felice and Wayne Zensius, incredible grandparents to my girls, taught us all that family is about history and tradition, as well as love and experiences.

​

Geraldine (Gerie) Goodstone, Ph.D., is not only my aunt, but my mentor and cheerleader, always providing an optimistic path to reach my goals.

​

Erica and Keith Biddings gave me the vision and advice to write what I already knew.  After hearing best-selling Erica’s story and Keith’s wise approach, the words came flowing. Erica helped bring my words to the printed page.   

 

My friends heard stories, told stories, and helped me hone my tools, whether they wanted to or not.  Gentlemen: I’m forever grateful (a-z): Alan, Bill, Brad, Dan, David, Eric, Jay, Jeff, Jimmy, Jonathan, Mark, Nader, Phil, and Quentin.
