A Lifetime Shaped by Apple’s Innovation and Community
49 years ago my dad bought an Apple II and my junior high, Hyde, in Cupertino, became one of the first schools to get an Apple II. I was one of five kids in its first computer club. 48 years ago my mom got a job building Apple II motherboards. She paid me and my brothers to help make them. Learned how to solder on them. Since then my life has always been affected by Apple. Siri was launched in my house. Was the first to buy an iPhone at Steve Jobs store in Palo Alto. Wrote two books about spatial computing because it kept buying startups I interviewed. Studied every morning for a semester with Apple cofounder @stevewoz. Great friend Andy Grignon was one of first 12 to build the iPhone. It has brought me so much magic. It is why I am still in love with new things and the people who build them today. Happy 50th!
