When I was a teenager, I was a huge computer nerd. I went to computer programming camp. I went to space camp.

I had so much fun in early days learning about networking, security, scalability and other geeky stuff.

Although I loved working on technology - I've always been a computer geek at heart - my professors encouraged me to get a real-world job working with customers.

I shopped at J. Crew in high school, I studied computer science. I was a nerd-nerd, now I'm a music-nerd.

I was really nerdy. Compared with my sisters, I often felt like a boring person because I lived so much in my head and in books.

I was a little nerdy, but I got along with everybody. I had fun at school - skateboarding, surfing, getting kicked out of class for making too much noise.

I thought of computers as very low class. I thought of myself as a pure mathematician and was interested in partial differential equations and topology and things like that.

I was quite nerdy at school. I skipped a year and won a scholarship in chemistry.

Out of grad school, I worked as a tech writer for a while before going into computer coding for a living.

I started getting into Internet technologies and computers. I wasn't especially interested in being a musician, but I wound up finding my way back to being interested in music through computers.
