Okay, Tyler, thanks so much for taking the time to join me today. Of course. Thank you for having me. So it would be great if you could kind of give listeners a short summary bio. Sure. So was born in New York? I actually grew up in Hong Kong. Was there 10 years? I went to boarding school in Santa Barbara. So I moved around a lot. I ended up going to BC for undergrad to study business. It really just made the most sense for me. My family's sort of been in

finance their whole lives. I was always a fan of Shark Tank as a kid. So I knew that was something I

wanted to do. And once I actually got to BC, I got involved in a bunch of clubs on campus,

the Venture Capital Private Equity Association. I took this M&A case competition in which we did a

sell side pitch on Shake Shack.

And those things really ignited my interest for finance.

I knew that it was something that I wanted to do.

So I ended up recruiting sophomore year, got back to campus, and ended up landing at Goldman Sachs and the TMT team, which I'm super excited about.

Yeah, amazing outcome, obviously.

I want to kind of just rewind a little bit starting with, I think it's pretty interesting that, like, you, uh, you were in Hong Kong for the law and then you went to Santa Barbara. Like, talk to a little bit about just that before we get into decision to go to BC. Yeah. So Hong Kong is obviously very international. People come and go quite frequently. sister went to boarding school, so I knew that

boarding school was something that I wanted to do. So I ended up applying to a whole bunch of schools

on the East Coast and then one in Santa Barbara. And it was kind of hard to top that. You have the beach

on one side. Not a bad place to be for four years. Definitely not a bad place to be. So, so loved it. It was very

community-centric, about 280 kids in my entire school. So very campus heavy, very team-oriented,

played basketball and football in high school, had a great time. That's amazing. So when you were

kind of thinking of East Coast, West Coast coming from Santa Barbara, did you think about any of the schools? Did you think about it like Berkeley, potentially, anything like that before deciding on BC?

Yeah. So I applied to all the UCs. BC was definitely on my list at the start. I wanted that community. I wanted a campus. I wanted a football team. I wanted to be able to show up

to games at a school spirit. I thought it was the right size. It was 20 minutes away from the city.

So it wasn't exactly a city school, but also had that campus feel. I thought it was just the

perfect place for me to end up. Awesome. So when you kind of got into, got to BC was like investment banking on the

radar as a freshman. Did you know like early on, hey, I need to do all these things? Tell me a little

about like just your education around what the whole like recruiting process for investment banking was.
