My
first taste of freedom was in high school with “The Band.” This
provided me money and I had a car and a girlfriend and a studio. I
was also a zealous stake missionary (we were in the Wichita Kansas
Stake.) This time period changed my life. I saw there was another
life that was not the mainstream 8-to-5 workday like my father lived.
He wanted me to become a scientist like him. And I might have made a
good scientist but after tasting the band experience, I always wanted
to recreate it. And, of course, never have. It was like a Disney
fantasy that could never be duplicated in adult reality. There were
some close moments but never the same feeling of being free,
appreciated and in control.
Freedom
to create and innovate have become some of my recognized core values.
These are great motivators since I'm an idealist at heart.
