I played in rock bands in college and then right out of college I moved over to Europe and lived in Ireland for about four years playing in indie rock bands.

As a kid, I knew I wanted to be either a cartoonist or an astronaut. The latter was never much of a possibility, as I don't even like riding in elevators.
