Now, your host, the Home Service Millionaire, Tommy Mello.

Hey there, folks.

Welcome back to the Home Service Expert.

I'm your host, Tommy Mello, and I'm here with Howard Partridge. Howard,

how are you today? Well, I'm doing better than phenomenal, Tommy. Thank you. Thank you. Listen,

you know, I've already gone over a little bit with the guests about what you've been up to,

but on your website, you went from a welfare throwaway kid to living the American dream.

And I feel like a lot of us, especially in the home service industry, we didn't start with much.

what your story is like.

So tell us a little bit about yourself where you came from some of the fun and the process of it and

where you are today.

You bet.
