This link is dedicated to the people and organizations who have had—and continue to have—an impact on my life. I apologize if I have forgotten to mention someone; please feel free to reach out, and I will gladly add you.

First and foremost, I want to thank Almighty God for His continued grace that blesses my life. To my mother, for her love and patience. To my children, Jerome, Aisha, and Santino, for shaping my character.

To Robert Primus, my irreplaceable best friend, who passed away from leukemia in August 2000, and who saved my life on many occasions.

To James Leaver, my first coach and father figure.

To Ricardo Fajardo, for being there when no one else was.
