My sister is 13 years older than me.

And my other brother is eight years older than me.

And so when I was growing up, they were all out enjoying their lives and I was raised to be really independent.

So I guess this all just meant I hated high school because I was wondering why am I here raising my hand to go use the bathroom or something when, you know,

My brothers are out kind of making, and sister, they're making lives for themselves.

They're kind of on their own doing things.

So I was able to convince my parents to let me leave school early.

I did have to get my GED and I did go to college and get my degree later on.

But I wanted to kind of get out there and start making my contributions in the world.

Uh, so my, uh, my father was an alarm salesman and, uh, later when I started my company, he left and, uh, and joined me in the basement as we, uh, kind of created what would become a shift four.

And my mother, she was, uh, she was like a college recruiter for a while, but, um, mostly she was just taking care of the family.

It's a really interesting story.

I was working at, so I started this kind of basement computer repair company with a buddy of mine who was just leaving for college.

And to create leads, I went and worked at CompUSA, so it was like a big computer retailer.

I think they're out of business now.

They've been out of business probably for a long time.

And unless somebody literally needed to buy something off the shelf, I was just solely using it to create leads.

Oh, you need to build a website.

It's like, well, we can do that.

Or you need to fix your computers or something.
