Good afternoon, and thank you for joining the call. In the third quarter, PTEN continued to demonstrate the power of our differentiated financial model as we delivered another quarter of strong financial performance. Before we talk about the quarterly results, I want to welcome Luke Sarsfield, PTEN's new CEO, to his first earnings call. As many of you listening to this call know, two weeks ago Clark and I passed Luke the CEO baton, and we could not be more excited about the transition. The decision to transition leadership at this time reflects the strength of our business, our commitment to driving shareholder value, and the confidence we have in Luke's ability to take P10 to new heights. All the pieces are in place to continue strong organic growth, leverage inorganic opportunities, and elevate the P10 brand globally. We have built a best-in-class investment platform tailored to the needs of our global clients, and Clark and I have exceeded every goal we set for ourselves. We are confident Luke is the right choice for P10, and he has our full support. Over 23 years, Luke was a key contributor at Goldman Sachs. He held important leadership roles across the organization, including serving as co-head of Goldman Sachs Asset Management. which managed over $2.5 trillion in assets. Luke brings proven leadership skills that he honed over decades. At its core, P10 is a people business, and it was important that we find a leader with the character to lead people effectively while making the interests of clients paramount. We also wanted an individual that had distinct experience building asset management businesses as well as thoughtfully identifying and executing projects value additive transactions. We're confident that Luke will effectively lead P10 and capitalize on a myriad of opportunity for value creation. Clark and I remain large shareholders and look forward to remaining involved in key parts of the business. I remain chairman of the board and as part of the transition, I was elected executive chairman where I will focus on corporate matters. Clark will also remain on the board and he was elected Executive Vice Chairman and will direct his attention towards strategic opportunities and assist Luke in potential corporate transactions. Welcome, Luke. We're excited you're at P10. In a few moments, you'll hear from Luke, but before that, I want to hand it off to Clark for a few comments.
