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.
