Tom: Doing great, Dan. It’s great to be with you. It’s been a long time.
Dan: Yeah, for sure, so for listeners, Tom and I go back to the early days, probably 2006, when we were both dipping our foot into the Philadelphia Regional Real Estate Networking meetings.
Tom: That’s right.
Dan: What a path since then, right Tom?
