This book is dedicated to my incredible family, without whose love and support I would be nothing.

My wonderful mother Marie, who gave me everything. My Dad Bobby, who I miss every day. My sister Lisa, who was always there for me. My brothers, Anthony and Scott, who kept my feet on the ground.

Special thanks to my fantastic children Madison, Jaya, Mackenzie and Jacob, who I love more than anything in the world. You four are my pride and joy and you make me smile every single day.

Thanks don’t go near to expressing the love and gratitude I have for my amazing wife Kerrie – my rock, my refuge and, quite simply, the love of my life; but thank you for saying ‘Yes’. I might be far away but you’re all right here in my heart.
