So let's see, I would have been, yeah, roughly 19, give or take.

And, you know, it's important to know because a lot of times when you hear about entrepreneurs building something and kind of hear their backstory, how they built something, you really don't understand where their head was at even going into it.

You know, a lot of what you'll hear is, because I've talked to a million founders, I had this crappy job or I had this opportunity and I saw somebody else and it inspired me, etc.,

I came into it just backward.

The only reason I understood anything about technology was because when I was, I'm trying to think back, probably nine or 10 years old, I had one of the first computers, a Commodore 64 computer, and I'm a huge video gamer.

So I loved, loved, loved trading video games.

Well, the one that changed my life was a game called Fourth and Inches, which was a football game.

It was around the tech mobile era.

And it was on the Commodore 64.

And I go over to Jeff Zapatka's house.

And Jeff has a copy of Fourth and Inches.

But back then, you couldn't just get games.

You couldn't download them, or so I thought.

You just had these five and a quarter inch floppy disks.

And if a buddy had one, you had access to it.

You could copy it.

It was the most beautiful thing in the world.

But that was our go-to kind of currency.

And so Jeff Zipaka somehow has fourth and inches out of the blue.

And so I'm like, dude, how did you get this?
