Dear Future Reader, I would like to thank you for investing in my professional dream and yours.

There were numerous people who played roles in the writing of "Fresh from the Kitchen." I have to acknowledge a few of them before we get cooking. My wife Kelly is the amazing woman that I am forever indebted to. Her physical, fiscal, and emotional support gave me the motivation I needed to pursue this experience. I am truly blessed to have her in my life. Thank you, AGP, for sharing your life with me. My kids, Elijah and Olivia are the co-designers of the book cover and reason I was able broke through my mental barriers to cook up the results you see today. I never want to let them down. Rodger Campbell is my big brother, coach, mentor, business partner, and friend. His constant prodding is one of the reasons I wrote this book and had the courage to step out on my own.  Thank you, Doctor Campbell, for providing me with the medicine to be SumThing Else. Scott Cummings is my best friend and someone I truly look up to. He is a role model who provides me with constant encouragement. His recommendation for a speech in 2015 was the catalyst to reignite my speaking career. Thank you, Skillz, for always being there for the good times and the not so good times.
