Good morning, and welcome to CrossFirst Bankshares' first quarter 2023 earnings conference call. I'm Heather Worley, Director of Investor Relations at CrossFirst Bank.

These comments are based on our current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from these statements. Our forward-looking statements are as the date of this call, and we do not assume any obligation to update or revise them, except as required by law.

At this time, I would like to turn the call over to Mike, who will begin on slide four of the presentation, available on our Web site and filed with our earnings release with the SEC. Mike?
