1996 - age 14. I had just gotten a computer at home I could use. I took computer science class in summer school (extra credit. Summers without school suck). Watcom basic. A year and a half later my professor gave up and gave me the wbasic manual so I could play with non ascii which he did not understand. I was 99% sure I would be working in pure math before then. I always loved solving problems or puzzles. Computers seemed to give me more options. Played with Linux/BeOS/Visual Basic. (And a very little java/Delphi). Got my BsC, now I lead a team of 5+ and work in any language/framework I want.
