Thanks, Jack. And thank you everyone for joining today's call. We delivered another year of record results highlighted by our proven growth strategy and strong execution. I would like to thank our team for their relentless effort throughout all the challenges presented by the pandemic and its after effects. Full year 2021 revenue increased 20%, 1.23 billion on top of 33% growth in 2020. while same-store sales increased 10% in line with our expectations. At the same time, our higher-margin service, parts, and other sales grew by an incredible 52% compared to the prior year. These areas of the business will continue to be a major focus for us, and we see plenty of runway for growth in the years ahead. Taking a 10,000-foot view of the business, One Water is surging. Our full year 2021 adjusted EBITDA of 156 million nearly doubled again this year due largely to our superior execution and strong business model. Importantly, our ability to find, acquire, and successfully integrate M&A targets continues to be a strong recipe for success. While not factoring into our same-store sales calculations, the synergies and growth we have been able to realize from our recent acquired stores significantly contributed to the 2021 results. To that end, Tuesday we announced that we have reached a definitive agreement to acquire Northfolk Marine, a third-generation family-owned and operated business that will expand our presence in the mid-Atlantic U.S. Northfolk provides a great lineup of premier boating brands and has transformed itself into a full-service dealer in its 75 years of operation. We couldn't think of a better cultural fit as Norfolk continues to expand and diversify its offerings. Their path forward falls in line with our own growth strategy. We look forward to sharing our experience with Norfolk and supporting them on further success as we welcome our first Virginia dealer. In 2021, we completed five acquisitions, which was in line with our previous guidance of doing four to six deals per year. For 2022, we have already completed the Naples Boat Mart acquisition and announced a pending deal with North Fork Marine. We continue to anticipate completing four to six traditional dealership acquisitions this year with a few larger ones in size. Additionally, we announced the acquisition of TH Marine, a leading provider of branded marine products. As we have discussed, this is a strategic, transaction for us, and it will double the size of our service, parts, and other sales business. TH Marine was built on its strengths as an OEM supplier and has evolved to create a premier omnichannel platform that supports aftermarket parts and accessory sales, which now accounts for half of its revenue. The TH Marine transaction will provide an additional springboard for acquisitional growth in the future and further enhance profitability. It also reduces our exposure to boat sales and ultimately industry cyclicality. As we integrate TH Marine, we would anticipate completing complimentary parts and accessory tuck-in acquisitions in 2022. We're excited for this opportunity and the many more doors it will open for us. M&A remains a core component of our strategy. And as you can see, the opportunities have been plentiful. Going forward, We will remain disciplined in our approach, but we are taking advantage of a robust M&A environment to advance our goals and drive growth. We expect another strong deal year in 2022 and look forward to executing our proven approach to systematically capitalizing on improvements and synergies while advancing our leadership position in the market. In summary, we are incredibly proud of our full year results, and we are excited for the opportunities ahead. The continuation of our M&A activity and the expansion of our higher margin revenue streams, coupled with the strong execution of our team, will further support growth and enhance the quality of our earnings. We believe these efforts will continue to drive meaningful value to our shareholders long into the future. And with that, I will turn it over to Anthony to discuss business operations.
