I won't mention my industry, but I am in the business of seeing Calgary grow.

I was originally inspired by SimCity. I loved building cities, I loved the growth of everything; hell, I even loved the music in the game. I could make a perfect city, better than what reality could offer. I spent hours on all the different releases over the years.

I didn't expect to go into what I'm doing, but I did, and I'm happy. When I think about it, SimCity played a huge part. I'm not excited with my current role, but I'd be damned if I said I didn't love buildings. I absolutely do. It is so much fun being a part of something tangible that will affect people's lives everyday. Seeing something grow from a concept in someone's mind to the final product is pretty special to be a part of.

If I had to do it again though, I'd be a personal trainer or someone that works in the fitness industry or an industry that involves physical activity - I hate being stuck on a computer / in an office. Or, I'd want to consult on sport facility design around the world.
