Acknowledgments

To my sons, Alex and Matt, who not only provide me with inspiration and a neverending supply of photo opportunities, but also their support and patience during my writing efforts. They are my greatest accomplishment and a constant source of joy and pride in my life.

I would also like to thank the folks at Peachpit for their support with this and all of my book projects. It was just a little over two years ago that I had my first conversation with Ted Waitt, my editor, to discuss the possibility of writing a book. Now, just a short time later, I have just wrapped up my sixth book and have the seventh in the works. If you had told me then that I would have written so many books in such a short time, I would have said you’re crazy. Fortunately, Ted and all the great folks at Peachpit make the process easy. It is always a pleasure working with such dedicated folks who are so passionate about putting out a great product. I look forward to many more in the future.
