As an undergraduate I held many small jobs as an illustrator.

Since then I have held many jobs at museums in Colorado and Wyoming. I have also taught summer courses at the University of Colorado.

One of my major goals is to develop a web of the small Wyoming museums and create a major museum system. There are about eight of these museums, and they are all scattered.

Reasons get forgotten.

I grew up with a very big extended family, with a lot of aunts. We had about five or six houses on one street.

In the startup world, you're either a genius or an idiot. You're never just an ordinary guy trying to get through the day

You got the impression that he never needed to sleep - just ten-thousand-mile checkups and dust him off occasionally.

A novel, I think, is partly about the contemporary and partly about the eternal, and it's the balance of that that's difficult to achieve.
