Special thanks to my wife Heather who has helped smooth out the vicissitudes of life and has been the best friend, wife and mother to our children.  For giving me the space and encouragement to complete this record, and never letting me settle or give up. 

To my sister Sarah, who never let me quit making music and through her environmental work has been so inspiring to me and many others.  She is a big reason why this album has on it the tracks that it does.  To my parents Jenifer and Steve who gave me the freedom to be artistic and never showed any conditions for love and support. 

To great friends Harvey, Kellen, Mike and Alisha for listening to my various demos and iterations of this record over the months it took to make it. 

To Messick for his endless source of optimism and that little lyrical bump I needed. 

To Redray Frazier for his mentorship and for being a source of positivity and good advice. 

Thanks also to Linda Mines Elliott & the Brooks family (Emma and Lucas) for the help with childcare so many times after school that gave me the time I needed to get this record done.  It takes a village, and I’m lucky to live in this one with y’all.
