Since the day where I first got my hands on LEGOs as a kid, I have always been passionate about engineering. Whether that be engineering bits a bytes in a virtual world or engineering brick and mortar buildings, it all makes sense to me.
Since high-school I have been developing websites, first as a hobby, then as sideline. I'm so passionate about programming that I volunteer to do it and also program software as a hobby. Just ask my wife if you don't believe me.
In college I studied Building Systems Technologies (aka HVAC Engineering). The most interesting courses for me were CAD (Computer Assisted Drafting) and DDC (Direct-Digital Control) programming. This lead me to discover BIM (Building Information Modelling) and work as a consultant in this area.
I like it when people tell me "that's impossible", it just spurs me on!
In other words, I like challenges!
