Just over a week now. So just over a week, yeah.

Look, I came from San Diego, so I was thinking it was going to be like a little similar vibe. Everyone's like, hey, you got to learn Spanish when you come to Miami. I'm like, dude, I'm coming from San Diego. I'm going to be good. It's a completely different world out here. Everything's bigger. Everything's better. Everything's moving faster, too.

Yeah, so originally I'm from Minneapolis, Minnesota. So if you don't know, winter happens up there. It's a really cold, cold city. Beautiful city, but there's not a lot of foot traffic, especially for athletes, because that's what I was aspiring to be. I was kind of groomed for the first 16 to 17 years of my life to be an athlete.

I was kind of groomed for the first 16 to 17 years of my life to be an athlete.

Luckily enough, I was blessed to be able to be born six foot five and decently athletic. So I got the opportunity to go play division one football down in Texas. So if you're not a football fan, Texas is like the hub. That's like where you want to go. That's where if you're playing football, it's like you're on a different echelon of like humans almost.

Yeah. So when the pandemic broke out, so everything got canceled. School went remote. So I was able to do all my high school work online. So I was able to go down to Texas early because graduation was canceled. Couldn't walk all that stuff because the world got put on pause. Yeah. So I went down there, was living the ideal dream, right? Something where now I was able to get a full scholarship.

I was able to actually get paid through stipend checks for being an athlete, which is, I mean, every boy's dream. If you're playing a sport, you want to get paid for it, right? So that's what I was living. That was my life. And get down there. And nothing too alarming. I had a shoulder surgery right away.

So I went ahead and they said I actually had a fractured humerus and my labrum was torn for over two years.

So I thought I just had like a weird shoulder on my head bruise. Maybe turns out it was broken. So I was just like, cool, let's fix that. So Went ahead, had that surgery, and for the first time in my life, it put me in a position where I had a little bit of money set aside because I never grew up with a bunch of money. Always had a job, had my first job when I was 13 years old.
