Dedication

To my wife Jill – Your unconditional support and love make me the luckiest man alive. Thanks for sharing your life with me.

To my late grandpa Justin O’Connell whose 45 years of dedication teaching English at the University of Minnesota served as my inspiration to write this book.

To my late grandmothers Claire and Stella who showed me the importance of living life to the fullest, and that with passion and true grit, anything is possible.
