Acknowledgments

I would like to most of all thank my wife and my children for showing me that no matter what I do in my lifetime, they will always be my greatest success.

Thank you to my parents for providing me with countless opportunities to become who I am today and for encouraging me to keep pushing my boundaries.

Thank you to my colleagues for allowing me the honor to work with you and for the infinite wisdom and knowledge you have given me.

Lastly, thank you to Blair for opening doors.
