Early Life
Steven Paul Jobs was born on February 24, 1955, to Joanne Simpson and
Abdulfattah "John" Jandali, two University of Wisconsin graduate students who
gave their unnamed son up for adoption. His father, Abdulfattah Jandali, was a
Syrian political science professor and his mother, Joanne Simpson, worked as a
speech therapist. Shortly after Steve was placed for adoption, his biological parents
married and had another child, Mona Simpson. It was not until Jobs was 27 that he
was able to uncover information on his biological parents.
► As an infant, Steven was adopted by Clara and Paul Jobs and named Steven Paul
Jobs. Clara worked as an accountant and Paul was a Coast Guard veteran and
machinist. The family lived in Mountain View within California's Silicon Valley. As a
boy, Jobs and his father would work on electronics in the family garage. Paul would
show his son how to take apart and reconstruct electronics, a hobby which instilled
confidence, tenacity, and mechanical prowess in young Jobs.
► While Jobs has always been an intelligent and innovative thinker, his youth was
riddled with frustrations over formal schooling. In elementary school he was a
prankster whose fourth grade teacher needed to bribe him to study. Jobs tested so
well, however, that administrators wanted to skip him ahead to high school—a
proposal his parents declined.
► After he did enroll in high school, Jobs spent his free time at Hewlett-Packard. It was
there that he befriended computer club guru Steve Wozniak. Wozniak was a brilliant
computer engineer, and the two developed great respect for one another.

After high school, Jobs enrolled at Reed College in Portland, Oregon. Lacking
direction, he dropped out of college after six months and spent the next 18
months dropping in on creative classes. Jobs later recounted how one course
in calligraphy developed his love of typography.
In 1974, Jobs took a position as a video game designer with Atari. Several
months later he left Atari to find spiritual enlightenment in India, traveling
the continent and experimenting with psychedelic drugs. In 1976, when Jobs
was just 21, he and Wozniak started Apple Computers. The duo started in
the Jobs family garage, and funded their entrepreneurial venture after Jobs
sold his Volkswagen bus and Wozniak sold his beloved scientific calculator.
Jobs and Wozniak are credited with revolutionizing the computer industry by
democratizing the technology and making the machines smaller, cheaper,
intuitive, and accessible to everyday consumers. The two conceived a series
of user-friendly personal computers that they initially marketed for $666.66
each. Their first model, the Apple I, earned them $774,000. Three years after
the release of their second model, the Apple II, sales increased 700 percent
to $139 million dollars. In 1980, Apple Computer became a publically traded
company with a market value of $1.2 billion on the very first day of trading.
Jobs looked to marketing expert John Scully of Pepsi-Cola to help fill the role
of Apple's President.
