- First job:
- "During summer visits, my grandfather would pay me a dollar a page to write using my right hand. He thought being left-handed would hold me back. It was a well-paying job, even though it failed to produce the results he had hoped for."
- Most valuable career advice:
- "Determine the impact of an issue and decide how much time it is worth and whether spending more time on it would make a difference in the outcome. Even if it will, does the difference matter enough to justify the time?"

- "The Titan Peeler (and accompanying garnishing books)."
- Ask me to do anything but...
