And Eugene.

Yeah.

And my dad was, you know, there was four or five kids and he said, I'm going to, I'm going to go from, you know, university of Oregon in the late seventies to BYU.

You probably couldn't get two more polar opposite spots and moved us here.

And, um, you know, he grew up in Washington state and my mother's from Palo Alto, California.

And, you know, we kind of settled here and, you know, I started a business here.

I met my wife here, like,

I have a lot that I've been given because of the state and everything else.

And for me, it's not that, you know, I just went to school there.

Like I, I grew up running those halls.

Cause my dad was a professor at BYU and like, everyone thinks it's like, Oh, you're just in charge of, or you just like to be with hoops and sports.

And no, it's like, like it would be really weird.

Cause I started Qualtrics really, you know,

from an academic room with my father, like at BYU, it'd be really weird if I wasn't all in on there and all in on Utah.

It's a little bit of like that.

Every time I go there reminds me, I feel like where I came from, you know?

So, so, so it's cool that, you know,

a potential top pick or wherever it ends up is, like, is coming through here.

And I'm sure all the Dukies feel the same way about Cam.

And, you know, it's kind of how it's gone.
