I would like to thank my wife and best friend Tasha for allowing me to take on this life changing opportunity for the second time around. Without her understanding and support I do not think it could have all happened.  She is truly my life’s motivation.  Also, wish to thank my wonderful daughters, London and Rio, for bringing so much joy to our lives.  Thank you to my mother and father for cultivating the technical spirit within me from a very early age (that Commodore 64 was definitely my springboard…LOL).
