Dedication

This book is dedicated to the many friends, mentors, and loved ones who have shaped my journey, both on and off the road.

To my family — thank you for your patience, support, and love, even during the times when the road kept me far from home.

To my friends and coworkers over the years — you turned long days and lonely miles into memories worth keeping.

And to the those I’ve lost along the way — your friendship and influence will live forever in my heart. This story is as much yours as it is mine.
