My dream began after a friend showed me concept sketches of Honda's New Sportscar Experiement in an auto magazine. It took a litte more than ten years of smart choices to make owning a NSX my reality.
My good fortune began with my decision to go to USC while simultaneously starting a career as a video game artist. While studying film production at USC's School of Cinema-Television I met Valerie, the woman I would eventually marry. The job gave me a jump start on my savings while allowing me to blend my passion for creativity and technology in ways I had never previously imagined.
Shortly after getting married, I hired on with <a href="http://www.naughtydog.com"><font color="FF0000">Naughty Dog</font></a>, a game developer which had just hit the big time with Crash Bandicoot on the Sony PlayStation. I worked long and hard on the three sequels (a video game series which has now sold more than 20 million copies worldwide).
During my rise to success, I spent very little on cars. I drove modest hand-me-downs, both aging Toyota Celicas. As long as these cars remained driveable, I couldn't justify buying a replacement...any such purchase would slow my progress towards my dream car. That said, there really was no other car I cared to own (except maybe Honda's S2000).
In March, 2000, I finally realized my decade long dream. I bought a brand new NSX-T and, as everyone here knows, the reality has dramatically exceeded the fantasy...
