Acknowledgments
This book would not have been possible without the support of Lindsey Kaetzel. Her outstanding project management skills are extremely appreciated in helping me stay on track and finish my largest work in 12 years.
I would also like to thank Sean Wakely for his work and enthusiastic support in getting this project started. I have enjoyed our many strategic conversations. Additionally, a sincere thank you to my assistant Dylan Condon. I appreciate his outstanding work ethic and reliability throughout the 2019–20 academic year.
Finally, I would like to thank my wife, Julie, and my children Isaac and Stella. I am extremely lucky to have such a wonderful, fun, and supportive family.
