To my mom, Catalina; my dad, Basil; my sister, Renee; and my grandmother, Edythe, thank you always for the love, support, and encouragement to be a good man.

To Councilman John C. Anderson, Obra S. Kernodle III, Congressman William H. Gray III, and committee people of the Fifty-Second Ward, thank you for your inspiration, leadership, and mentorship—you made me a better man.

To Lisa, Olivia, and Christian, thank you for making me the best husband, father, and public servant I could ever hope to be.

This book is dedicated to the incredible citizens of Philadelphia who cared about me and gave me a chance to lead our great city, the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at the Transfiguration of Our Lord School, the Jesuits and lay teachers at Saint Joseph’s Preparatory High School who taught me to be a man for others, the faculty and staff at the University of Pennsylvania and the Wharton School, all of my classmates throughout my education, my incredible City Council staff, the tremendously talented leaders of my mayoral administration, the fine public servants of the City of Philadelphia, and public servants across America. Thank you for what you do every day.
