David Futato David Futato has a bachelor of science in creative writing from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, so -- with such a unique degree -- O'Reilly seemed like the logical choice. He's worked for O'Reilly for almost eight years, doing a little bit of everything, including production, editorial, and most recently book interior design. He lives just outside of Boston with his husband Ron, their two cats, Cairo and Minsk, and more CDs and vinyl than any one person should own.
