Steve Goetz: Hello, my name is Steve Goetz and when I was a boy I loved answering the phone for the excitement of what was on the other side. Sadly, most of the calls back then were from telemarketers and they tended to butcher our last name. It was pronounced Goats, Goets, Gotez, but in fact it's pronounced Goetz, like, "Gets it done."
A little fun fact. I was actually born in Tanzania and my birth name was Juani, J-U-A-N-I. And one translation of that is Child of the Sun. I still keep that with me.
Thanks for listening.
