I started life in the small Midwestern town of Sparta, Illinois. It was Cornfield and coalmine country. Prior to the internet and cable television I had two chances a week to learn on how much I was missing out, Soul Train followed by American Bandstand.
Clearly an early icon of fashion, I turned down Milan offers to instead sit on the hood of a 67 Camaro at the local Dairy Queen while listening to Deep Purple on an 8 track car stereo - they were the best of times, they were the worst of times.
I am first generation to even consider college back to homo erectus.
I was able to go to college via an Army ROTC scholarship.
