The ad that I saw in the Sunday 04/06/1986 SF Chronicle that got me the AK job as Art Director.

Resigned from BSA. Trained Fernando Paez into my position at BSA. I told BSA staff I was going to work with a friend, Susan Thompson in her San Francisco graphic design studio. A bit devious but gave me an opportunity to train up Fernando properly without leaving them in the lerch. Also was able to leave them on friendly terms while going to a competitor.

05/12/1986 - 07/1992
Worked as Art Director
About a month or two later... AK Account Supervisor, Eileen Dunn, met Fernando at a San Jose Mercury News event. She thought he looked peculiar - not dressed like the other "suits". She mentioned that Steve Garson was working for them. A surprised Fernando got word back to BSA. Needless to say I got a disappointed call from BSA AE Deborah Rowen. She has always been might favorite sales person/ae of all time. I definitely missed her incredible energy - she was a blast to work with - we fed off each other and grew together in our careers. Deborah, if you're out there somewhere I hope you are doing well!

AK LA office.
George, 2nd from the left, was my counter part in the LA office. This was a program he put together with LA office AE's. If I remember right that is his wife on the left with their child. George and I were on the bleeding edge of the digital revolution that was hitting creative departments. We traded ideas a lot with a bit of inter-office rivalry thrown in.

Race day – Malibu Race Track, Redwood City, CA 012509

10/20/86 Practice at the track the day before the race.
Racing Stub from practice day – the day before. Fastest for me was 57.02 enough to get me on the team. Ran a 53.05 on race day. Tim was usually faster than me – he prob. had the 52.19. I believe Larry Seiden from BHA ran the fastest – the 45.83?
