I would like to thank my amazing wife, Sarah, and my fantastic daughter, Mariam. They've sacrificed many nights and meals for this dream. I hope Mariam will read this book one day and understand why I spent so much time on the computer instead of “chasing”. Thanks to my parents for their encouragement, which made me who I am today. Finally, thanks to my mentor, Ashraf Albasti, who has helped me in countless ways in my career.
