In my previous career, I served as an Architectural Drafting Consultant to many custom home builders in West LA. I met many celebs during my 13 year stint in this industry some of which included:

Kenny G - Drew the plans for his house on Lake Washington. I even got a mention in the liner notes of his "Miracles" Cd.

Sugar Ray Leonard - Same thing about the house but no CD.

Other celebs homes I've worked on include Diana Ross, Rod Stewart and Michael Bolton (yeah I know, not really A-list celebs but hey, it paid the bills).

Outside of Architecture, I've met Alan Ruck aka Cameron Frye in Ferris Buellers Day Off. Sat next to him at the bar at a posh now defunct nightclub/restaurant on 3rd Street Promenade in Santa Monica and took shots with him all night -- nice guy and a total party animal!

Oh and when my wife and I first started dating she worked at an upscale billiards club called Q's in Whittier. Oscar de la Hoya used to come in all the time and try and pick up on her. She would act like she didn't know who the hell he was. Can you believe I had to compete with that dude???
