Hard work, never being satisfied, never quit attitude and always wanted to get better.

And a great supporting cast around me made it possible.

Nian is in his office downtown.

I remember him telling me now you're part of the connects family and that's exactly how I felt for my entire 13 years or in Vancouver.

I want to say a special thank you to Francesco, Paolo and Roberto, like Willie Knee and the entire equity in the family for welcoming me so warmly.
