Goodness Steve, you are full of talents! Layouts, music and now cooking too!

Just kidding!

Hi Marion,

I guess at my age, I just ended up accruing different skill sets (although my spelling has something to desired)... It's all too weird to make up anyway... Not to toot my own horn, but here goes...

I've been cooking since I was knee-high to a grasshopper, then after high school, I got my culinary degree... I still cook just about everyday, but not for a living anymore.

I've been playing music professionally since I was a senior in high school, now I do production in my home studio. I just finished a title song called "Kids Learn Spanish" for a Kids DVD set... I played 10 instruments and sing lead and harmony vocals. My wife and I were on the road full-time for 6 years in the late 80's.

I also have a BA in Electronics from DeVry, so I've been around computers, programming and technology a while. I've been doing multimedia programming and game development for about 15 years now, so I kind of had to learn to do graphics out of necessity. (Sorry, no degree here!) CDROMs, games, webpages, etc. I started writing a scrapbooking program about 3 years ago with another guy, but that fell apart..

Indigo Rose has other products I've been using for years and I got the announcement about Scrapbook MAX! and that's how I ended here...

Now I do the scrapbook design because I enjoy it and I don't have to take myself too seriously...

And most of all I enjoy sharing my work with fellow "scrappers"...

P.S. Are you impressed yet? LMAO

[Marion]

Good grief... They had music and cooking way back when you were a teenager?

Just kidding. A person after my own heart! In that case, we will also have you entertain us, and do the dishes after!

Marion.... Where is the motto for our Convention? Oh, ok, I'll give you plenty of time to come up with it. Don't want to pressure you or nag... You have 1/2 hour to do it!
