My appreciation goes out to Joe Torraca who introduced me to knife throwing; to Harry Munroe who first amazed me with throwing 1/2 spins and the "Munroe Dance" (rumor has it he can catch a bounced knife between his teeth); to Bobby Branton and Bob Karp for introducing me to tournament throwing; John Bailey for introducing me to the "Bailey Back Spin" (be sure to see his knife throwing videos); and to Che Che Whitecloud (Ken Pierce), Dick Haines and Larry Cisewski - 3 great impalement artists I've had the pleasure of throwing with and learning the tricks of the trade. Thank you all - I hope to carry on the traditions you have all brought to art of knife throwing.

A special thanks goes to one of the kindest and most talented performers I've ever met, Mr. Chris McDaniel. Chris is the 1996 Texas Skip World Champion and star of Chris McDaniel's One-Man Musical Wild West Show. Through Chris' inspiration and assistance I have taken MAXIMUM RISK from a routine to a show.

Since the release of the video in September 2001 I have received many calls and e-mails from throwers worldwide expressing their appreciation for what my video has added to the field of knowledge in knife throwing. The highest praise one can recieve is favorable acknowledgement from their peers — I guess that says it all.
