Learned CNC back in 1986 at Corona High School, but a great teacher, Mr. Door, who taught me about drafting, CNC machining, CAD, and general life lessons on socialization.
Been programming since the age of 10 or 11 (I forget). Sold my first program at the age of 13. I have worked in various industries, and have be programming professionally for about 30 years now. 3D printing is a hobby. I own three printers, my most recent is the A1 mini, which I love. And the AMS just makes it better.
