first quarter 2021 earnings call. Presenting today's call will be President and Chief Executive Officer, Jackson Shea, and Chief Financial Officer, Michael Hughes. Ken Heimlich, Chief Investment Officer, will be available for Q&A. Before we get started, I would like to remind everyone that this presentation contains forward-looking statements. Although the company believes these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, they are subject to known and unknown risk and uncertainties, that can cause actual results to differ materially from those currently anticipated due to a number of factors. I would refer you to the Safe Harbor Statement in yesterday's earnings release, supplemental information, and Q1 investor presentation, as well as our most recent filings with the SEC for a detailed discussion of the risk factors relating to these forward-looking statements.

Yesterday's earnings release, supplemental information, and Q1 investor presentation are available on the investor relations page of the company's website. For our prepared remarks, I'm now pleased to introduce Mr. Jackson Shea. Jackson?
