Okay, so you've been on Carcast many times, many, many times over the years and I would say that a lot of

listeners definitely know you from R. M. Sotheby's auctioned. But years ago you decided to get with some buddies and start your own? How did that come about? How did Broad Arrow come about? Yeah, it's sort of a version of that, right? Yeah, something like that, I guess.

Yeah, it's been about three years now, and it ended up being about a dozen of us left a former employer and you know decided to do things on our own our own way so it's

been a it's been a great journey so far and we very early on got a great partner in Haggerty and you know they were they were awesome to work with from the very beginning and you know kind of what we needed in the beginning as well.

You know we were self-funding everything so they were they were a good boost for us and then you know they

had the option to buy us out wholly at some point and they exercise that very early and you know it's been they've they've

really been an awesome partnership for us and they've allowed us to continue to do what we know how to do, which is important and important to us and they let us kind of be autonomous and but supporting us wherever we asked for it and you know the Haggerty brand is always been very positive, very good family brand and you know that they went public actually right before they invested in us too but yeah I can't I can't think that the whole

haggity group enough for everything they've done for us and helped us build over the years so

you guys have grown in such a short time to be absolutely one of the premiere

of automotive auctions, definitely on par with anything else

that's out there.
