First, David Hirmes wanted to be a fireman, then an astronaut, then a car mechanic, then an architect. Then, he wanted to make dioramas for the Museum of Natural History. Then he wanted to be a rock star, then a writer, a 3D animator, a carpenter, and then a writer again. For a while, all he wanted to do was ride the F train drinking Tecate from a can. Then he wanted to be a web designer, then an artist, then a roof gardener. Now, he's back to fireman.
