Started as a Jesus Freak, then a salesman; sold lots of stuff. Turned valves and splashed around in a TitaniumDioxide plant for a couple years. Helped invent cable advertising, made my biggest sell ever and was stiffed on the commission. Ran away to a Taoist commune. Got kicked out of the commune. Landed in an artist colony. Bounced back to MS and sold ads for a weekly newspaper. Got recruited to sell Macs in 1987; the rest is history...
