Katy Crane, an original owner of CoreMedia developed a friendship with Dr. Dan Petersen which led to my joining CoreMedia with her when they needed a replacement for then retiring Dr. Dan. Katy also started the drive to focus on safety culture and thus was one of the pioneers in this important field of safety performance excellence.

Tim Crane, my former partner and close and intense friend in CoreMedia. Because of Tim's leadership CoreMedia had the vision of beginning a safety culture consulting business unit. He also continued to fund the effort as well as push innovation and IT solutions for this new venture even in times of severe business uncertainty and cash flow struggles.

Brad Cosgrove was the CoreMedia, and later global manufacturing company, graphics technician. His innovation, skill, and perseverance kept us on the forward edge of graphics excellence.

David Crouch was one of my former managers at the global manufacturing company. David went through a similar effort to write his first book. His guidance and encouragement to my efforts were of great value to me.

Andy Schneider was the corporate global manager of safety for the entire worldwide company. Over the years Andy did an incredible job of working with the company's more than 500 worldwide manufacturing sites to reduce injuries. As the organization plateaued at a RIF of about 1, Andy searched for a company to buy that concentrated on safety culture excellence. Thank you, Andy, for bringing our small team on board and challenging and supporting our unique safety culture approach worldwide.

Aaron Janisko was a safety manger leader who has spent untold hours with me discussing and developing safety excellence under very difficult circumstances. Aaron is one of many such caring, engaged, intense safety professionals our team and I have had the pleasure of working with over the years. They have helped our process, and we in turn have helped their performance. It has been an incredible journey for all of us.

Dave Fennell is a recently retired Exxon Mobile Imperial Oil safety manager in Alberta Canada. Dave was one of the first safety professionals to embrace Dr. Dan Petersen's cultural approach to achieving safety excellence. Dave has been a good friend and a safety culture innovator for as long as I can remember. The risk tolerance material is all his.
