What I Owe to Steve Jobs

When I was nine years old, I took a computer class on an Apple IIe. I learned to program in Logo.

When I was 14, my father gave me a Macintosh SE.

When I was 19, I invested the money I earned at my high school job into shares of Apple.

When I was 26, I brought the folder from that first computer class to a meeting with the people who would become my co-founders of my first company.

When I was 34, I sold my Apple shares and founded Pixability. It is because of Steve Jobs that Pixability exists.

He was a visionary, and I owe my career in technology and my company to Steve Jobs. He will be missed. Stay hungry, stay foolish.
