    I don’t know you and you don’t know me. But here where we live in cyberspace, that matters not. I look to you every day and appreciate what you tell me and teach me. Your birthday vid shows me a man who lives an attitude of gratitude and is happy to be alive and contributing. It’s rare to see such humanity expressed in a business setting. Thank you.

    Happy Birthday Chris – thanks for keeping the dream alive. I know you put in crazy hours and a lot of nights on the road, but it’s definitely making an impact. Can’t begin to tell you how often your name comes up in conversation (real face-to-face conversation) these days. It can’t be easy to always put yourself out there and open yourself up to the entire world, but keep pushing forward and keep us posted.

    Chris,

    One of your gifts is realizing how connected you are to everyone you meet. One day I will shake your hand at an event and consider it an honor to have met you in person.

    Keep travelling, and spend that important family time too! Sounds like the ‘Pirate Team’ is destined for glory.

    Still looking for my ‘sailors-map’ in my on-line efforts, but I do not know how to say Quit!

    Respectfully,
