Well thank you.
Thank you for allowing me to be a guest today, Stan.
Oftentimes characterize myself as a finance person turned operator, turned strategist.
So quick few words to suggest a journey that yes, my first interaction with franchising was as a sixteen year old in my first job at Burger King.
Did that through high school, never dreamed.
That franchising would come back to me.
But I went from there on to school at University of Virginia, left there, went to Pricewaterhouse, which is my finance part of me.
Got a call one evening at about a ten o'clock at night and said, How would you like to work for a Fortune fifty company and never do accounting again?
And I said, Sign me up.
And that company was PepsiCo and more specifically Pizza Hut.
And Pizza Hut had just started delivering
That was nineteen ninety one and in
starting delivery business.
I think they really got in full force in the late eighties.
It was heavy growth.
Um it was exciting.
Pizza Hut went from a zero in delivery sales to a billion dollars in less than five years.
And I oftentimes tell people if you can grab growth, grab it hard and just ride it.
And so it was a wonderful opportunity
My job was field finance and working with operators to improve margins.
