Q: how old are you? what is your educational background?
A: I was born in southern California in 1961. I was a bright but bored student one year ahead of all my peers through Jesuit prep school. I dropped out of college twice, once from the electrical engineering program at USC because I couldn't afford it, and once from the computer science program at Cal State because I wanted to get rich, and I trusted the wrong kind of people to help me.Thumbnail sketch:
