There was birth, boarding school, solo international travel at 16, London shenanigans, Hare Krishna, then some retail. A Gulf War Tempest-compliant solution for MBT's, then a Radio Scanning business which led to working for some interesting people.

Then Intel, early retirement. Some commercial and DoD Drone stuff.
