I started learning Esperanto in high school on my own around 1972.
While in the army a friend of mine and I started creating our own language at
work.  It was based mostly on English and German, with lots of made up words.
 We didn't keep it up for very long.
I read Tolkien's books a few years later, maybe 1980.

I would say that I've always known about conlanging, even though I don't
actually do it myself.  (I modify other people's projects (Latejami, Toki Pona,
Esperanto) to suit me.)
