Welcome aboard. You have some big shoes to fill indeed.
Eclectic hobbies, and I am sure both your girlfriend and dog Walter must find metal detecting quite riveting, something akin to junkyard dogs or is that trailer tra.....nm.
And I will not even comment on the chosen name.
Good luck with the position, I have no expectations of WGT or its employees, not to dissimilar to the viewpoint of Chad, the game is what it is, but sit back, buckle up, and enjoy the journey.
