I would like to thank my content editors/reviewers: Brian Green, Andy Rachmiel, Ramin Rahmani, Jeff Wade, and Kirk Wiseman. I appreciate each of you for not being afraid to call out my mistakes and, in doing so, helping me to learn and grow. For all of you, that is true not only in this writing, but in my career and the growth of it that you have each helped to shape.
I would like to thank my co-workers who have helped me to learn much of what I have shared in this book. Many of you helped mentor me at BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee and at Market Street Solutions. Many of you have taught me new techniques at BSP. It is through teaming together that we can each hope to grow our skills the most.
Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for supporting me while I was writing this book. You have all been a huge emotional support with the constant encouragement. I especially would like to thank my loving wife, Amanda. I know that this has required almost as much sacrifice from you as it has from me. Thank you for all of the weekends, where you have taken care of things that I would normally help with so that I could have time to write. I could not do anything without you. I love you.
