So far it's good.

We haven't talked about anything yet. I'm here with

Matt Hayes who I've recently met at a Total Archery Challenge event and you had such a cool like start to your

story of how you got to where you're at in the industry. I just kind of asked you to be quiet last night. Not so

politely, sorry about that. Sharon looked at me, she's like, don't pick on him. I'm like, he's a marine.

I'm pretty sure he's had worse said to him.

I can handle it.

Brad looked at her and he goes, she's definitely,

he's definitely heard worse.

Yeah, like John saying shut up I want to talk to you tomorrow did not offend him.

No, not at all.

So tell me tell me I guess let's start with where you're at and then let's go back to where it began.

So I recently took over the marketing partner Hunt specialist job at

loophole. So working with our hunt team such as you and

you know Jim Shockey and all that and then just building our partnership and you know I believe there's a lot of people who get sponsored by people but I believe in more sponsorships with people so I'm hoping to bring that to the side our partnerships. you know I want to be a partner with somebody not just you know

Give them money and but like here like make a fake ad that's not as fun. You know like I want you to believe in it now. I believe in you so
