It is with utmost gratitude that I recognize the following giants, upon whose shoulders I humbly stand: Professor Nicole Stelle Garnett for her inspiration and guidance; my father, Timothy, for his compassion and tireless work ethic; my mother, Susan, for her care and insatiable intellect; and my sister and brother, Jamie and Patrick, for their boundless courage. I dedicate this work to my wife, Debra, whose love and sacrifice illuminate both me and my every achievement.
