very interesting wow what a hell of a first deployment yeah and like to be clear i tell people i was like i was i was the the equivalent of a squire for the ground force commander i do everything from look i just wanted to be a good you know young seal officer load his magazines grab a muscle milks you know before the op uh get those guys what they needed uh to be successful um and then you know when we were doing strikes it was coordinating with the the battle space commander

uh, with air assets.

And so, um, the, the one fun thing I, I did try to make it lively and energetic.

I would cheer when we would do kinetic strikes in the jock and I was like, what the hell?

I was like, look, this is fun, cool stuff.

Like we're, we're, we're taking out bad guys.

Like what's not to love about it.

I grew up, so I was born in Houston, Texas.

I'd say I grew up in Seattle, moved to Seattle, Washington when I was 10 years old, finished high school in Florida.

It was just my dad's job in corporate America.

But, yeah, I was one of four kids.

I have an older, the oldest is my sister, older brother, younger brother, so I was number three.

But, yeah, that's where, yeah, a lot of good memories in Seattle and Florida.

It was fun times.

What did your parents do?

My dad worked in corporate America, started off his career at Bechtel, largest engineering construction company in the world, then worked for a small engineering construction company in Houston, Texas, did another company called Foss Maritime in Seattle, and then at the age of 50, decided to buy a small engineering construction firm in Orlando, Florida, and that's what took us

uh, to Florida.

Mom was, uh, you know, 100% mom, uh, day in, day out.

Um, so, uh, yeah, that's what they did.

Uh, let's see.
