If you could call any living person for advice today, who would you call?
I think I would call Warren Buffett. He has done pretty well for himself, plus he lives near Omaha, so I could even visit if need be.

If you could have worked for anyone in history, in your field, who would you choose and why?
Although he has a reputation as a crazy control freak perfectionist, I’d have to say I would love to work for Steve Jobs and Apple. The products that come out of there are absolutely amazing, and I would love to be in a place making software and interfaces used by millions of people every day.

What’s the worst joke you ever heard?
A man walks into a psychiatrist’s office dressed in only saran wrap. The shrink says, “Well, I can clearly see you’re nuts.”

This will probably anger my wife and mother-in-law, I think its their favorite joke. Its really not good though, haha.

Who are you closer to, friends or family?
This is pretty easy. My friends are my family, and my family are my friends. The two are so meshed in my mind that they are pretty much inseparable. I love them equally, and would do anything for either of them.

What turns you on, excites you, makes life worth living?
Odd question, but I’ll answer the best I can. I am really dorky, and really love programming, computers and technology. Even when I’m just sitting around I’m usually messing with some code, or trying to learn more about new technology. Its kind of an addiction.

I’m also really passionate about art, especially illustration. Although I go through phrases of not doing any illustration at all (currently in one, guilty!), when I’m feeling it, there are few things I enjoy more in the world. I really love the feel of pencil on paper, although I’ve been drawing more on my iPad lately, which I guess is kind of marrying two of my favorite things.
