I grew up here in San Francisco and I'm a California boy, through and through. I was fascinated with cars as a kid. I started with tonka trucks, then onward to hot wheels, remote-controlled cars, then go-karts, and finally got my license to drive the real thing. I saved up enough money to get a 1976 Ford Mustang and I work on it all the time, and race it every other weekend.

I've had many lives as a graphic designer, a consultant, bar tender, knives salesman, you name it. But I finally realized that I have to work for myself. Just not a company kind of guy, that's why I have the goal to write my own business plan.
