Grew up in a middle class, union family. Was expected to be the same.
First generation personal computer kid in the early 80s. Hack the local NFL team's payroll computer running on a Data General mini (Eclipse) earning me a visit from the local FBI office while I was in high school.
Ostracized by most of the school as they looked at me as freak. (These days, I could have been laid from this.)
Two weeks later, earned a scholarship from it due to my programming skills. Some hippie freak, acid-droping teacher that wanted me expelled for the hacking quit in protest over my scholarship award.
Have a mentor that worked with Tesla in the '30s and '40s. He had good stories.
Hack more, more feds, blew a scholarship to a big time school for "disciple" where I later find out I was really passed over for some affirmative action niggers.
Barely graduate from a semi-public university with an EE degree. Told several professors to "get a real job!"
First professional job found on Usenet groups. Fired from that in less than a year after telling the owner to fuck his family and pay me more.
Head out to Silicon Valley. Meet my pirate peers. Get drunk with the Atari and Apple crowd. Lost count of how many job offers.
Fucking California girls (mostly from Santa Cruz) left and right. To this day, wonder if I have kids I don't know about.
Self employed since 25. Countless start-ups and contracts. Three cash out well.
Director of two start-ups now. Including stock and real-estate, worth somewhere around $10 million.
Two ex-wives with closed divorces where they live off Trusts and don't dare sue or they and out kids loose the meal ticket.
Dating a mix of strippers and Scottish girls. Going well. Not bad for someone that just turned 50 two months ago.
Dick still 8" long and fucking weekly on a slow month.
