Before I became a toy, game, and otherwise inventor, independent businessman, chief cook and bottle washer of my own company, I had (like all of you) a number of other jobs; summer jobs, part time jobs, full time jobs, apprenticeships, etc. 

            

 

 

I was an apprentice leather worker to my mentor Stu of The Leatherworks. He is a misanthrope and a creative genius who inspired me to follow my own creative path that has led me to what I do today.

            

I had my own retail leather shop on Franklin Street in Chapel Hill, NC, where I made and sold sandals, shoes, bags, leather garments, belts, and the like. Stu’s friend Johnny Cool came in with his mother one day and stole all our leather coats and vests while she kept me distracted. I could go on for hours about Stu and my adventures together . . .
