Dear Ed,

These last couple of years have been very impactful, it has made me the man I am today. I would like to express my appreciation for everything you have done for me and the Brown’s Harbor community. Not only are you an inspiration and mentor, but you are like a big brother to me. You have shown me through hard work and consistency, I can make a difference not only in my own life, but in others as well. Thank you for taking the time out of your overwhelming schedule to share your knowledge, wisdom, and life advice. I look forward to learning from you.

 

With Gratitude,

Tyler
