Innovation is something that keeps me up at night — because of excitement, not stress. I get an idea, and I just can’t sleep. I draw it out, sometimes I code, and when I get really excited I often break out my 3D printer and soldering iron and fully bring the idea into the world. One of the best things about becoming a father has been teaching my daughters that they too can bring their ideas into the world.

In fact, I came home last week to a vending machine that my 7-year-old daughter had constructed out of cardboard, tape, and a water bottle. I was a proud father, and I know that she will turn that creativity and tinkering into a successful future.
