To my son Josh, his wife Denyse, and their son Gabriel—and to my son Joe, his wife Natascha and their son Anthony. These six people bring joy, love, and balance to my life, allowing me to better develop my vision and honor my values.
To my friend, Gina Dias, who has been a beacon of strength and integrity during my entire adult life, and a constant reminder of how our choices lead us forward, if we let them.
