Thank you so much for having me.

And congratulations on 250.

Yeah, most definitely.

So we start a lot of the times where a lot of the students either they start at the service desk side of the house taking a lot of the calls or they start at the dispatch side of the house taking a lot of, you know, computer tickets, computer swaps.

And they'll start seeing me kind of running around doing random stuff with a whole bunch of tools.

And they're like, what does that guy do?

And eventually I end up chatting with them and kind of sharing, you know, my story of it and then sharing kind of what I do.

And most of the time they're like 163 inch TV.

Oh, my goodness.

How big is that?

And then we start.

going over to the set areas of either seeing like a 98, 163, and seeing like a projector.

And they're like, so how does that work?

How do you do this?

How does that end up there?

And then they start kind of doing some of the installs with me.

One of the newer students over at Dispatch is actually installing an 85-inch with one of the Sennheiser bar cameras with me as the first introduction into AV.

And it always starts there.

And then they start seeing different ways that they can kind of like grow more knowledge.

And a lot of times they go from install to design to programming.
