My best friend in high school had died of a cocaine overdose, and I wanted, decided I was gonna be a DEA agent. So I’d gone to the post office and was in the process of filling out an application to work for the DEA when they fired Mehrtens. You know, that’s how fragile my relationship was to the zoo up until being named the acting director. So now here I am. I’ve been director for four years. I got some staff. I’m starting to trust that they know more than I do about a lot of things. And I guess it was not long after that.
