THE BEGINNING:
The first computer my dad bought was a gigantic Dell computer. It was 1994 and the bulky desktop with the giant tower cost $3,000. I was in fourth grade and I was fascinated with it, as was my best friend Matt. One day we were tinkering, programming, creating graphics and playing games and the computer crashed.
We told my dad what happened and, as you can imagine, he was very upset. He said, “You’re going to sit right here until you fix it.”
I said to him, “How do I fix a computer?”
He said, “Not my problem. If you don’t fix it, you owe me $3,000.”
Matt and I spent the next week and a half working on that computer. We read the manual. Called Dell tech support. Backed everything up to floppy (remember those?). We formatted the hard drive. We did everything we could to bring that computer back to life.
And guess what - we did it! It worked! And I was so relieved. Our success with my dad’s computer inspired us to launch a neighborhood consulting company we called MAX Technologies, my first ever entrepreneurial venture.

FUN FACT:
I know what a sledgehammer looks like, but I’ll never pick one up. Frankly, I’m too pretty to do hard labor.
