I would like to dedicate this book to my mother, Margaret Farmer-Maguire—you are the inexhaustible well of eternal inspiration for your sons—a profile in persistence, always our happy and tireless warrior, inevitably creating outcomes that many would have thought impossible. Thank you for choosing me to be your son. An eternity of gratitude is not enough; thanks for all that you’ve done for our family.

To my mom, Neena Jain, thank you for backing me and motivating me to try new things in life. To my wife and friend, Veenu, thank you for your love, patience, and enduring support. Without you all, I would not have been what I am now.
