I could not have written this book without the help and support of many people. First, I need to thank my wife Julie for putting up with me being busier than usual for the last 6 months and for picking up the slack as always, and for always supporting the crazy things I want to do! My children, Abby, Ben, and Kevin, make all the work worthwhile and can always make me see what is truly important with a smile. Thanks to my parents for raising me to have the mind-set and work ethic that enables me to accomplish the many things I do while maintaining some sense of humor.
Of course, the book wouldn't be possible at all without the Wiley team: acquisitions editor Mariann Barsolo, developmental editor Mary Ellen Schutz, production editor Dassi Zeidel, copy editor Liz Welch, proofreader Kathy Pope, and indexer Ted Laux.
