I'm doing really well.

I'm excited to be here today and looking forward to tonight's event.

So thank you for having me.

Yeah, so I've been involved in soccer analytics for about 10 years now.

We were just talking about it off air before.

I actually went to London for school, so London in the UK.

And this was 2015, 2016, right when the Premier League was starting to start buying into analytics.

So I worked for a data company based out of London called Opta, and they started providing data to these Premier League teams.

So I was there kind of on the ground floor when the analytics movement got started in soccer.

Eventually moved back here to the U.S.,

I worked for Inter-Miami in a similar role to what I have now.

So I worked for them and the MLS team for three and a bit years.

And, yeah, I've been at U.S.

Soccer for now just over coming up over two years now.

Yeah.

And it's a small world.

I've known Paul for probably 10 years since we both started getting into this.

So, yeah, it's a small world.

And now, I mean, when I look at people who are just coming into the field now coming out of college, their skill set is so much better than mine was at that age.

And it's just it's I was in the right place at the right time, got lucky.
