Dan HarrisHOST
You know, we talked earlier how, you know, some of your, your early job was, was an eighth grade science teacher, right? And, and how'd you, how'd you move from being that into kind of getting into the family business? What was that like?

Andy PriesterGUEST
With my history, my, my entire life, I grew up around the airport, so I'd always been exposed to it.

Andy PriesterGUEST
But- You know, early in my career, I, I just had a passion for working with and, and helping kids, and that led me to, to be an eighth grade science teacher, and I loved every minute of it.

Andy PriesterGUEST
Um, and for a lot of years, I said, "If I ever hit the lotto, I'm gonna go back and I'm gonna teach eighth grade science, and I don't need to take a salary." Well, I didn't hit the lotto, so here I am.

Andy PriesterGUEST
My early career when I, when I came back to the family business, I took, after five years of teaching, I was about to go become an assistant principal.

Andy PriesterGUEST
Um, but that year I took a sabbatical, a two-year sabbatical, where my district let me go and, and I went back to the family business.
