Everyone, please join me in welcoming the most incredible big sister a person could ask for, Alex, who is not only my rock but also my best friend, and I am so honored to have her by my side.

Craig has been my best friend since high school. We played music together in The Foundations, the best blues band no one ever heard of. He was the talented one, but I practiced more. Whether it was playing music or later going off to engineering school, Craig has always been my inspiration, and I'm proud that he is here to be with me on this wonderful day.
