Words cannot adequately express all that you’ve given me. You’ve been everything. Saying “This wouldn’t have been possible without you” is an understatement. Thanks, buddy. Thank you to Robin and Warren, our dynamic “god parents,” who provided us with amazing guidance and their ridiculous wealth of knowledge. To my mother, who instilled in me a love of reading that benefits me every single day. I don’t know how you got us through it all. To my loving sister, for always being there. To my brother: the bond we’ve shared since we were kids will be with me forever. You are the coolest person I know. Thank you to Frank, Vera, and Frankie. Thank you to my dear friends in Pittsburgh—Holly and Doug, Mike and Chad, Mark and Tracy, Mike and Betsy, Jeff, Kate, Kaitlin and Alisa, Knut, Cathy and Colin, and Mike and Jules, for your amazing support, and for making me realize how big my family really is. Go Steelers! Thanks to my Philly friends—Jasmine, and my oldest friends Orlando, Jose, and Suboh.
