Thank you, and good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us today to review I-STAR's second quarter 2021 earnings. With me today are Jay Sugarman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Marcos Alvarado, our President and Chief Investment Officer. This morning, we published an earnings presentation highlighting our results, and our call will refer to these slides which can be found on our website at istar.com in the Investors section. There will be a replay of the call beginning at 1 p.m. Eastern time today. The replay is accessible on our website or by dialing 1-866-207-1041 with the confirmation code of 2859281. Before I turn the call over to Jay, I'd like to remind everyone that statements in this earnings call which are not historical facts will be forward-looking. I-STAR's actual results may differ materially from these forward-looking statements, and the risk factors that could cause these differences are detailed in our SEC reports. I-STAR disclaims any intent or obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as expressly required by law. Now I'd like to turn the call over to I-STAR's chairman and CEO, Jay Shergman. Jay?
