I am blessed and grateful for the generational privilege, learning from those who came before us, and cross-sectional privilege, which comes from those who touch us in our current lives.

Therefore, in no particular order, I express my gratitude to the following:

My parents, Slavko and Marjana, for modeling kind and good humans. Especially my father for embodying “showing up” and being a Man. I wish you a peaceful journey up there. Much love, I miss you. 

My sister Nina for being my partner in crime in nature and adventures.
