When I graduated from high school, I wanted to be a photographer. I had my own lab downstairs, and I was doing all the things I loved to do. Then, he said, "You're not good enough and you'll starve to death. You should go to college and get a degree."

I went on to do an MBA, which ended up being a very important tool for me later. But I went back into production. My first company was Special Event Television, which produced all of the programming for the East Coast Hockey feeds. I was trying to get back to the thing I loved, which was photography and production, and make money doing it.

There was that science and that art coming together in my life. We sold the company, and the three founders split the money. I took that money and started the software business that eventually got sold for 4.2 billion.

Things happen in life; you don't know why, and you only get to look at them in retrospect a long time later. But all of that stuff, you know, made me what I am today: the good, the bad, and the ugly. I wouldn't change a thing.
