I know this is short notice but ... this is a very special occassion for my family and I. I look forward to seeing some of you at the ceremony. But for those of you who cannot attend, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as I assume the responsibility and take on the opportunities of this new journey. I truly believe that I would not be as successful as I am without your guidance, leadership, faith, confidence, friendship, and/or love. I will never forget where I came from and the challenges that we faced to get there. I am humbled by this experience.
