Thanks, Michael and good morning, everyone.

I will kick off today's call going through some of the highlights of our strong third quarter. Our results were healthy as we grew both our top and bottom line versus year-ago quarter. I will then give an update on our full year guidance, highlight Hillman's competitive mode, and provide some additional color on the quarter, before I turn it over to Rocky.
