To those who lifted me up

Each step of this journey has been made possible thanks to the unwavering support, kindness, and belief of those around me. This space is dedicated to the people—and the moments—that gave me the strength to move forward.

To my Dad

Thank you. One simple sentence, "Today's dreams are tomorrow's reality," spoken at just the right moment, became a guiding star throughout my life. Your words instilled in me the unwavering belief that aspirations, no matter how distant they may seem, hold the potential to blossom into tangible achievements. That single piece of wisdom has been a constant source of strength and inspiration, propelling me forward even during the toughest of times.

To Karen

Your enthusiasm and unwavering support have been a true gift. Thank you for introducing me to the powerful concept of "above the line" thinking. That video sparked a profound shift in my mindset, and your genuine excitement when I first spoke of creating a company embodying that very principle – a company I now proudly call Above the Line – fueled my determination every step of the way. Your cheers echoed in my heart, reminding me that my vision was not only possible but worth pursuing.

To my incredible family,
Curtis,and dear friends

Thank you. The past five years have been a journey, often a heavy one, but your unwavering love, support, and belief in me have been my anchor. Knowing you were by my side, celebrating the small victories and offering comfort during setbacks, made all the difference. The dreams I held onto then are now the reality I live today, and I couldn't have reached this milestone without your steadfast presence and encouragement.

To Brutus

Finally, a special thank you to my amazing support dog, Brutus. Your quiet companionship and unwavering presence have been a constant source of comfort and strength throughout this journey. You've been a steadfast and furry reminder that even on the toughest days, there's always unconditional love and support to be found.
