I graduated from the University of Michigan with a BA in Communications and left formal education behind.

I would have been about seven years old when the formative years of my competitive football education began. I was playing in the local leagues around Manchester, playing against lads from tough areas who had been taught they had to fight for everything.

The best education in the world is that got by struggling to get a living.

The point of my work is to show that culture and education aren't simply hobbies or minor influences.

The value of an arts education is widely accepted, especially in California.
