I Learned As A Young

Figure Out What You Love To Do, Then Figure Out How To Get Paid To Do It.

I Also Grew Up Building Theatrical Scenery. I Spent Many Years Building Scenery As A Large Part Of My Income And That Allowed Me To Really Develop My Shop Skills.

I Learned The Word Non-conformist In Fourth Grade And Immediately Announced That I Would Grow Up To Become One.

When I [first] Went To University, I Was Doing Foreign Languages, Because I Had Done Them Since I Was 13 Years Old. I Had Done French And German. I Picked Up Italian, Just Sort Of Blasted Through The Exams, [and Then] Took Off Overseas, Because I Wanted To Be An Actor. I Thought, "i'm Just Not Academic." I'm Not Very Competitive, In Terms Of Acting. But Since Going Back To University, I've Realized, I Am Highly Competitive.

I Grew Up In A Small Town In Illinois, And My Dad Was A Basketball Coach. Thanks To Him, I Have Excellent Fundamentals In Both Basketball And Baseball.
