All right, Rick, I want you to tell everybody about, uh, your family and where you're from originally and how you ended up out in China Spring.

Oh, well, um, I grew up in Lake Whitney.

Um, uh, actually, we had a real estate office there growing up, but actually growing up I really wanted to be a, a farmer-rancher.
