Meet n' Greet

As a graphic designer over the years I have had opportunity to meet many interesting people; some of them are even somewhat famous. Here are a few that I was fortunate enough to get a picture with:


Steve Young, the record-holding, past quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers was a very nice and patient guy, even when someone stole his shirt from the tradeshow that we were working at.

Sammy Hagar was the coolest musician that I've been able to meet. He had lots of stories and was very open and friendly. He was very comfortable meeting people and quite personable to each person that he talked to. My wife had shaved her head in support of our friend who had cancer, so she's got a nice buzz-cut going on.

I didn't get a very good photo of/with the Counting Crows. That's Ok though, because they were very uncomfortable in their own skins. They didn't talk much and were actually somewhat uninteresting.

The Goo Goo Dolls were pretty cool. The format to meet them was kinda rushed and there wasn't much time for fun stories or real conversation, but they were very open and fun; all smiles for everyone and just nice guys

My work has given me opportunity to meet with many other big name or semi-famous people that I either wasn't allowed or forgot to get a picture of or I just didn't have a camera available. Among these famous names are: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Joe Weider, Magic Johnson, Mike Ditka, Roger Staubach, The Moody Blues, Howard Jones, and others. I have also been able to meet and /or work with a number of religious and political figures, corporate executives of some of the largest companies in America, and even Penthouse Pets and models. There are times that I really love my work and I count myself lucky in so many ways. There are some jerks and/or strange people among the famous that I have met, but most are just plain, fun-loving people who count themselves among the lucky also. One day when The Karlin is famous I hope that people just think of me as a happy, fun-loving guy.
