Goldberg began to draw at four, and had his only formal art lessons from a San Francisco sign painter when he was twelve. He studied engineering, and in 1904 undertook his first professional task: helping to design San Francisco city sewers. He found that he preferred a job sweeping floors at the Chronicle.
