I developed an interest in computers starting in the early 1980’s leading me to learn how to write software in BASIC for the 6502 architecture. Soon after I learnt assembler in order to push the hardware to the speeds I wanted.

It was games that drove my interest. A local corner store had a Space Invaders machine, and I had dropped far more 20 cent pieces into that machine than I had to spare. It inspired me to learn more. I was exploring and learning for the sake of learning.
