Thank you, Brandon, and good morning. Before discussing our quarterly results, I'd like to share how excited I am to have a new role at OneGas, to congratulate Curtis on his promotion to Chief Operating Officer, and to acknowledge the trust that our board has placed in our leadership team. One Gas is built on a solid foundation of core values and a commitment to our employees, shareholders, communities, and investors, and we will continue our tradition of service to each of these stakeholders. Additionally, our focused business strategy, constructive regulatory environments, stable cash flow, and an unwavering commitment to safety remain central to our sustainable business model. Our values, coupled with a well-defined strategy, have guided this company since inception and will continue to keep us on the right path as we move forward. Regarding our second quarter, our results are consistent with our plan. In response to the unique challenges earlier this year related to Winter Storm URI and the evolving COVID environment, our employees have remained focused on execution and dedicated to our strategies. Among the positive results that Curtis will cover is the fact that we continue to see robust customer growth and opportunities for investment. I'd like to turn it over first to Karen to provide an overview of our second quarter financial results. Karen?
