I love it. Well, let's go back to the beginning. I know that you've been around this industry.

For a long time, you have a unique upbringing in this industry so how did you get started and first

kind of get the bug that led you down this path of wanting to have your own company and your

own products yeah so i had an early start in the gift industry my parents they are they're both

pharmacists and they own a pharmacy in a small town here in Oklahoma.

And my mom brought me to market when I was about 11 years old. So we went to Dallas Market.

And I remember walking in the doors of the trademark and just looking at it thinking, this is the biggest mall I have ever seen.

And from there, she would go, you know, two, three times a year to market, and I would beg

to go with her.

They gave me a badge that said junior buyer.
