Acknowledgments

Writing a book turned out to be a lot more work than I imagined. So to my wife, who continued to wish me encouragement when I slowed down, I say thank you. To my sons, who I see far too little of while I am on the road: I love you and I will be home soon. To Tina Davis: I owe a huge thank-you to you for reading every word I wrote and for making this book look like I had a grasp of the English language. To Renee Cragun: Thanks for putting up with the weekend calls and giving me greatly needed advice. To my editor, Rick Kughen: Thank you for your help and patience.

To my original business partners, Pete Stewart and Rob Guba: I am truly lucky to have worked with both of you and thank you both for everything. Tracey, thank you for being a sounding board to my many absurd ideas. To Joe, Brian, Dayle, and basically the entire TraceSecurity engineering team: It should be clear that without all of you, there would be no TraceSecurity. To Jon Keyler: You taught me there is more to life than a computer. To my sister, Jenney: I’m sure you wish to thank me for being such a terrific brother. To my Mom and Dad: You’ve been the yin and yang of my life. Without both of you being so different, I would not be the person I am today. Thank you for everything!
