ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to thank …

Jenny, for always believing, even when the going got rough;

Logan, for showing me the whole new world that is fatherhood;

Eddie, for making the right calls at the right times, for the right reasons;

Lou, for putting me in the game and letting me throw deep;

Chris, Fred, Jen, and Gillian, for making me work harder;

And all those who have inspired and supported me.

Up the Irons!
