ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to thank all the readers of this book. I also want to thank my wife Jennifer. She has always stood by my side. I want to tell my children, Tyler and Ryan, that I adore them. They have brought so much life into my existence. I also want to thank my mom for being an amazing teacher. My dad Marc has always been wonderful and warm to us. My dad Larry is a creative man who encouraged me to chase my dreams. My sister Chayse is beautiful and wonderful with children. My sister Natasha is an amazing woman who will soon be an elementary school teacher.

I want to tell all my other friends and family how special they are. We may not spend every day together but you have a huge piece of my heart. Without you I would never have been the person I am. I thank you for being in my life and hope to see you again.
