How did you get started in this business?

My Dad owned a film production company that produced all the JB&B spots when I was a kid, so when I was home from college one summer doing nothing with my life, my Dad and Randy hooked up an internship with The Big Show. I always kept in touch with them after that summer, and when they had a need, there I was.
