This high school?

This high school.

What town?

This would have been, so it would have been in San Antonio.

I was growing up in Barney, about 30 minutes from San Antonio.

But then COVID happened and everything shut down.

So then I was super bored, dug a hole in the ground, got some coal, started forging knives, and then kind of turned that into like a knife making business.

Yeah, I don't think I've ever been bored.

I just find things to do quite quickly.

And yeah, when COVID happened, that was like the thing to do.

So I started doing that.

And that got me obsessed with like mechanical and aerospace engineering.

I had a bunch of family members in defense.

So this wasn't like a new thing I was thinking about.

But yeah, I started a company.

I say company, it's like my buddies and I like making knives.

It's not like...

Not anything special.

Doing like knives and furniture and stuff.

I was kind of bad at making furniture.
