My Dad – who encouraged me to use his work bench tools and help him with mechanical / building projects – even if I wasn’t into sports. Both of my parents taught me that it’s okay to have several careers as your life changes. You were always an idea man… you had a belief in the possible, but remained rooted in the practical. A man who in the 1970’s told me that one day TV’s would be thin as pictures frames and hang on the wall. You let me know that imagination and vision are important – even while we just live the life we’re given.
