What was your favorite children's book. Mine was The Velveteen Rabbit. I had a stuffed rabbit that went with the book.

107. Before I graduated from high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer

Then I joined the Army and did Army things. Naturally, because I am a nerd I got into computers and became a computer nerd. When the Desktop Publishing revolution came around I thought that was cool and bought a copy of Letraset’s Ready, Set, Go! page layout software, a copy of Adobe Illustrator and a PostScript laser printer and “learned by doing” - there is SO much design in Berlin, so when I saw something cool in my journeys I’d go home and figure our how to do it myself. I knew sound so I joined the Brigade’s theater club as a sound designer and talked the makeup designer into teaching me to do makeup. I was already taking good pictures, I learned that on the high school paper and on annual staff.

I don’t get to invent the next big thing the teens are shoving in their pockets, but I’m doing okay.
