But tell us about your background and how you all came to Vermont.

Sure thing.

And very funny about the Manchester connection too.

I was actually just in Manchester earlier today dropping our puppy off for a vet dental visit.

We were not, I think, long time with dreams of being innkeepers types of people necessarily.

I most recently was the chief financial officer for a government organization and Emily, she is a geologist for Shell.

And so we come from very different backgrounds.

Yeah.

But what's the through line between running a $400 million operating budget to, you know, doing some of these things you were describing now, I guess, what's the connecting thread? Like how did, what are the skills from your previous careers? What skills apply for what you're doing now more specifically?

I guess just talking a little bit more about skills.

So if I think about Emily and what she's done, I mean, there's both things in Shell and outside of Shell.

So when we were overseas, she ran some large social events.

She is a consummate host.

She's a great cook.

She's very creative.

And there is this almost deep emotional connection to this place that a lot of our guests experience either have had from being here for decades, coming for decades, or they grow it when they're here, right? There is part of the success of this place is the authenticity and that very personal connection that comes when you are visiting a family-owned and operated inn and not a cookie-cutter box hotel in a city, you know, 20 or 40 minutes away, right? And I think in order for us to preserve that, it almost has to stay in the family, right?
