Entrepreneur means problem solver. Problem solving and making things better are why I get out of bed in the morning. “Pilot” is here because that is how most people remember me. A few know me as the “CoolToys” guy.
Why? For over 16 years I was a pilot in the Air Force Reserves and for nearly 30 years, I have been a pilot for a major airline. In the military of course I had a “call sign”. At first it was “Data” because I was the squadron computer geek. As lame as that was, the first rule of the call sign is “don’t fight it”. If you do it will get worse or stick like crazy glue. In the middle of all of this I started building and designing residential control and entertainment systems. I even went to Skywalker Sound and got a THX certification.
One day in a big meeting the boss said “Why don’t you just take over the world while you are at it.” Another pilot who also fly’s for the same airline laughed and said “Brain”. And that stuck. Not being a fan of Pinky and the Brain (yet), I didn’t get it. Then I watched the show and figured, it wasn’t a bad callsign. So if you hear someone yell “Brain” in the airport, I might just be cruising by.
When I am not surfing or flying, I’ll sit here and work my hobby projects on Early Bum, CoolToys TV or Fan2Stage or some other idea project. Someday I might figure out what I want to be when I grow up. Until then, who knows.
