"Alan Kairouz has had a profound impact on my life.

As a dear friend, and a valued confidant, I have found his counsel invaluable and an absolute necessity whenever I needed it; even whenever we had differed, it was always that his reason and thought process itself that gave me more to think about than the matter at hand itself, to reflect upon, and ultimately, shaped my final resolve, and subsequently my own rationale that I will carry with me forward in life.

Valued to me most was his mentorship and life-outlook; indeed, much of what I am today. the huge leap I have taken from whence I have begun, and the expanding of my life goals and hopes was in no small part due to Alan's coaching and counsel.

I salute you Alan, I thank you, and I wish you all the best of life and more, and the best fulfillment of all your hopes, dreams, and goals.
