Who is the person at Disney that passed on hiring Randy Pausch?

Question

I bet they feel really dumb right now.

Answer 1

I would like to think Pausch inspired a more positive outlook on things and that's the lesson from when he was first passed up by Disney.  He then just tried harder rather than dwelling on what some other person did or didn't do.....

"The Brick Walls Are Not There To Keep Us Out.

The brick walls are there to give us a chance to show how badly we want something. Because the brick walls are there to stop the people who don't want it badly enough."

- Randy Pausch

Answer 2

As the person below stated, no one passed on him. To the contrary he was the one that declined a position.

Answer 3

They did not pass on hiring Randy Pausch.

He was a consultant at Disney for 10 years.
