I missed the bus to visit SpaceX at the time. I was one of the directors on a documentary capturing the last manned shuttle launch. Was given access to a lot of cool things like interviewing astronauts, etc. Would love to go back sometime and nerd out a bit.

Cool! I always loved video games, especially those with "map editors" that let you build and create your own missions. I studied architecture, where I started learning 3D, but left it when I realized I could make games on my own :D That's it in short.
Development is a solution to the problem of building new things & puzzle solving. Designing/creative is the solution to everything else. User experience, why people behave how they do, etc has been the focus of my career the past 20 years.Nice! I guess in that sense Doom is what did me in. Total customization. 
Do you get to gamedev as your main job or do it on the side?
