It's never too late! Jeff Sornig went from retired Marine to a career in animation. I first heard Jeff's story on The Animation Network podcast and I was blown away.

First off, let’s get to the origin of the name Rodgon, I assume it’s short for Rodney Gonzalez or something like that but when did you shorten it to Rodgon? HAHAHAHA, Its short for Rodrigo Gonzalez. I went with that name because it kind of sounded like a Pokemon lol and I thought it was cute and catchy. I find it funny when people actually think my name is Rodgon though. Where did you grow up?I grew up in Mexico city and USA , we moved a lot when I was younger, but settled in San diego for the last 18 years...
