Richard, how are you doing today? Why don't you give us a little bit of background about yourself and the company?

Sure.

So my background, I have my undergraduate degree is in astrophysics.

I was an Air Force pilot and then went to business school, went to work in an investment bank, went to Salomon Brothers.

So my background is mostly on the financial side.

I was an investment banker and then jumped to the buy side.

We raised a communications fund at Lehman Brothers and then worked at Vantage Point Venture Partners, also doing tech and telecom, a little bit of semiconductors.
