Not a lot.

So I went to a boarding school and that really changed everything.

Cause it was, it was, you know, Red Wing that had predominantly just like white people, farm type, Red Wing shoe type to the school that had people from all over the world, a lot of Asian international students.

And so I went from being kind of like big fish in a small pond to being

I'm now the only white kid in my math classes, and these, again, mostly Asian kids are kicking my ass.

They're killing you.

Where was the school?

It was in Minnesota, so it's called Shattuck St.

Mary's.

They've produced more D1 hockey players than any other school in the country.

Wow.

You have hockey flow, too.

Man.

My graduating class was 104 of us, and I think 70-some went Division I in hockey or soccer.

Wow.

I was not one of them.

Yeah.

So I did well in school, and I was going to let the college I got into dictate what I did because I was really interested in going into the medical field, pre-med, but I also was very interested in business.

My dad, growing up, worked with a lot of entrepreneurs.

He was entrepreneurial himself.
