We started to get contracts around 96, 97.

We were living in Hong Kong at the time.
We had an offshore company.
Oh, me, my wife, and a couple of people that were with me.
We set up this offshore company when we were in, when it started to make money and we were getting a lot of international people coming in and we didn't want to be banking in Asia.
It was still a little bit unstable.
So we had the typical BVI offshore company account and that kind of thing.

And our first big contract, we worked for Ferrari in 96 and 97.
But it was really kind of very loosey-goosey.
Our first big thing was the official concierge of the New York Fashion Week, then the Kentucky Derby, and then in 2004, the Grammys.
So in in 96, 97, I was working with Ferrari in Monaco.
So I was meeting a lot of very powerful people, but also a benefit that I didn't realize at the time was I couldn't Google them because we didn't have Google in 97.
