| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return [Text Block] | Compensation Actually Paid versus Total Shareholder Return As shown in the chart below, the CEO and other NEOs’ Compensation Actually Paid amounts are aligned with the Company’s TSR. Alignment is primarily due to the Company’s use of equity incentives, which are tied directly to stock price in addition to the Company’s financial performance. The TSR calculation assumes a $100 investment made on 1/1/2020. | ||
| Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income [Text Block] | Compensation Actually Paid versus Net Income As shown in the chart below, the Company’s net income increased from 2020 to 2021, followed by a decrease in 2022. The CEO and NEO’s Compensation Actually Paid have varied significantly from these changes in large part due to the significant emphasis the Company places on equity incentives, which are sensitive to changes in stock price. | ||

| Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group [Text Block] | Compensation Actually Paid versus Total Shareholder Return As shown in the chart below, the CEO and other NEOs’ Compensation Actually Paid amounts are aligned with the Company’s TSR.
