About: A long list of thank-yous

  • My friends – You’ve kept me going. Elliot’s Fair Grounds in Norfolk – you let me be a vagrant in your coffee shop as I started coding this from scratch. (Can one be friends with a coffee shop?) Jim McBee, Megan Lavey and Brian French – you provided the spark of inspiration. Brianne Warner, Stephanie Bernat and David Putney – you gave me the structure and leadership I needed at Link. Jill Martin and Jon Woodruff – you’ve been amazing friends. Everyone who offered input – you turned this into something really great. Thank you all.
