After Effects - How Did You Meet?

I think I was very lucky to find him or he found me in a way because not only that he sponsored me, but he knew that my after effects skill at the time was quite basic. Like when it's slow doing work, like he didn't make me do like busy work or anything. He was okay with me just like watching tutorials and follow tutorials during like work hour and such. So I would say that I learned all of that after effects stuff on the job. Do you remember when we actually first started talking to each other? But I don't remember when that was.
