Dedication
I would like to dedicate this record to several of my close friends. Derek Koch, Mudd Buddha, Miles Harris, Lazy, and Stephanie Alfonso. Thanks for your friendship, your mentoring, counseling, patience, and mostly for your nurturing and support of my dreams. This past year has been a rough one and I’ve had to lean on some of you a lot. Thank you so much. Hopefully if time and circumstance permits, I can dedicate a record to each one of you individually, but for now there is no time like the present.

Thank Yous…
Thanks as always to my mother and father. Thanks again to my extended family for their continued support. Thanks to my friends and teachers, Derek, the Red Tide crew (Lazy, 2%, Skoolz). Thanks to Kensi for hooking up the cuts. Thanks also to Rachel for taking the time to always listen to my work and give me feedback. Also, thanks to my instructors, Joey Best and Chris Reed, at Ybor City Jiu Jitsu Club. Thanks for your teachings and much success with your fledgling school.

Very special thanks to Mudd Buddha for his tireless work recording the project, to Lazy for his continued guidance, to Kensi for his incredible cuts, Miles Harris for his work with my website and the graphic design for this record, to Steve Dixey for his amazing cover artwork, to Josh Pearson for my t-shirt design, and once again to Stephanie Alfonso for doing all the intangibles that brought this project together.
