But yeah, back to the journey of getting to the point of taking the leap to start this was a big part of it was the, um, the real estate boom that happened with everybody trying to bounce around the country during the initial COVID stage. Yeah. Go back in time for me a little bit.

Okay. Yep. So, um, born and raised in small town, Idaho, um, a little logging community called Orofino that's down like Clearwater country. Um, uh, Earlier on in life, I just lived a pretty rural upbringing. It wasn't like a farm life or anything like that. The biggest industry in my little small town is logging. So both sides, my mom and my dad's family, logging or in the woods to make a living.

And With that mentality, probably lots of different industries like that, but you just get a lot of strong mindsets of making do with what you've got and making the job happen with as little or as much resources as you've got available to you. So all my uncles, fabricators and... Just accomplishing pretty crazy feats with bare minimum type resources.

That's 100% accurate, right? So small town upbringing, I'm real fortunate for the... You know, I didn't put a lot into mechanical. I feel guilty saying gifted with mechanical abilities, but I just, I did have, my dad was always fixing everything that broke around our place.

My dad is very talented, and he taught me. I paid attention just a fraction of what I should have been paying attention. Did he go to school for that, or did he OGT it as well? Yep. He, OG, he was just, you know, back in, he, he graduated in the mid seventies from high school. And at that time the timber industry was on fire and he... Metaphorically? No. Yeah. Metaphorically. Yeah.

Timber industry was on fire in comparison to the expenditure of, of going to school. And it just wasn't as hot of a topic back then. Parents weren't really, at least in rural small town America, weren't pressuring their children to think that this is the way, you know, go get a degree and
