Can you tell us a little bit about yourself, kind of where you grew up, where you went to college, how you ultimately got into private equity?

Yeah.

So I grew up in Northern Virginia, the oldest of three, younger brother, younger sister.

My dad was a college professor and my mom was a nurse.

So I worked a lot in high school, had a lawn mowing business.
