I am a Boise State grad and was born and raised in the Boise area. I still bleed blue. Tell me about the new position. Reinke, we manufacture mechanized irrigation for the ag market, we are also involved in irrigation technology, we like to think that we are the leader in irrigation technology right now. Our business is really about inputs and outputs for growers when it comes to irrigation. We manage inputs, we reduce inputs, we make inputs more efficient which leads to better outputs and better yield and better crop quality. We are celebrating our 60th anniversary this year. We have been around for quite a while. And you got promoted, we you already with Reinke? I was. I was involved with dealer development which had to do with recruiting and training of new dealers and strategically placing the dealers. I was promoted from that position into the director of marketing and my responsibilities now are from a broad level, I am pretty much responsible for marketing strategy and implementation for Reinke.
