I'm doing all right. Thanks. Well, welcome. And we're happy to have you and have this conversation. You know, you're sitting here because of the reputation that you have seemingly built for yourself to where people have recognized the type of person you are and how you contribute in all kinds of different ways that we'll talk about, specifically within the Maven community, inside of Oracle here, you know, how you've contributed in doing things for the community, maybe in and as you talk through this, it's related to what you grew up being surrounded by or the location in which you live 00;01;50;01 - 00;02;12;03 and things like that. But, you know, I think it's a good example of the elements when you come into Oracle, when you come into this community, the military affiliated community, you know, you you never know. Obviously, who you're going to meet. But once you settle in, you start to feel like there are things that you can do and that discovery and that curiosity builds relationships. 00;02;12;03 - 00;02;30;14 And that's the essence of of how it came about. So before we get too far into these things, you want to share a little bit about those types of things where where you're from and how you navigated to get to where you are today. Well, thank you for having me, Chris. I want to just start with that, I appreciate it. 00;02;32;06 - 00;03;05;21 So my background, I was raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, and didn't have a huge military influence ahead a little bit in my family. But, I went to undergrad for business management at Purdue, and I ended up getting my MBA at naval post-grad. And I think that's a good portion of where I spent a lot of time with military and, spent two years in a different cohort and getting to do and have like a virtual MBA program, which was really neat. 00;03;05;21 - 00;03;33;07 It was a program designed for naval officers, and it was good exposure and all that. But I did that while I was in one of the federal agencies that got three letters and doesn't like to be talked about, but I spent about 15 years there. I started out in government contracting, and I was a contracting officer, and I ended up moving into I do project management. 00;03;33;07 - 00;04;06;00 We kind of built a new financial system. I helped on that project that in a way, and really liked it at the budget. And then I spent some time doing that and working in the IT division, and ended up becoming a unit chief. And because I just loved managing people and helping develop their careers. And so I managed a couple of different software development teams and shops and different, like, testing type organizations, and then a little over three years ago, I left the public sector. 00;04;06;14 - 00;04;29;23 I really thought I'd be there forever and retire there, but I ended up getting an opportunity to come here to Oracle and work in Oracle Cloud.
