    Sam,
    In response to your first point, every conversation I've had with you, digital or in person, I have left with a great respect for you because of the way you spoke value into my life. Thank you.

    Jared, thanks for your words you are far to kind. I was blessed and encouraged as much if not more by you and your father. Your dad is a great leader I am grateful God allowed our paths to cross online and in real life.
