This book was a passion project for me as it combines my love for my children with my love for the University of Central Florida. During my time at UCF, I learned discipline, developed perseverance and earned academic degrees all while making life long friendships and some of the best memories of my life. I hope you all feel the love that was put into this book as it was created for all of Knight Nation.
