But we also do lots of creative stuff outside of the office. Things like playing guitar in a rock band, designing theatre sets for local productions, and shooting homemade movies\u2026mostly about our kids, our friends and each other.<\/p>\n<p>Personally, I like to write. And a while back I had my first book published. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Da Vinci Dog<\/span> is a comical satire on contemporary art told through the eyes of my dog, Brinks. I adopted him from the Humane Society of Broward County and, to thank them, Brinks and I dontate 25 percent of our profits to local and national animal shelters.<\/p>\n<p>CBS News heard about our story and came by the house (aka Brinks\u2019 studio) for an interview. <a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" href=\"http:\/\/cbs4.com\/video\/?id=70289@wfor.dayport.com\">Click here to see the video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">The Da Vinci Dog<\/span> is available everywhere books are sold.
