And I spent that time working as an insurance adjuster and going to law school in the evening, and then when I left law school, I joined the Department of Justice in Washington.
I have been an XL fan of Devo since I was in high school in the 1970s. Their records only sound better with time.
I grew up half the time in a small town called Mart, Texas, and half the time in L.A., because I was acting. My high school was crazy about football.
I used to spend a lot of time at football training, but that time was later spent in amateur acting classes and my local youth theatre, in plays at school and after-school clubs. That filled the void.

In my second year, after moving to the Medical School, I began the courses of Anatomy and Physiology. I had begun to see that I was interested in cells and their functions.
I did try to get a few of those teen high-school movies, but they just didn't like me. I guess I wasn't a certain type.
As kids, we traded 'I like Ike' and 'All the way with Adlai' buttons in elementary school.
People that were a little nerdy in high school would look up to me and know it gets better.
I was a choir boy for 3 years in high school at St. George's in Newport, Rhode Island.
