Describe your job:
Have fun & enable others to have that same fun.

How did you get into the industry?
I was in Winter Haven, FL. working as a systems analyst for a database management company. I received an email from my alma mater's job placement department they'd sent out to CS grads looking for people to relocate to an Ohio Honda plant or something. Being nosey I dug through the headers a bit to see whom else had been sent this. One of the addresses happened to be a game development company in Orlando, FL that I had briefly heard of before and the name of the person sounded familiar. So I fired off an email asking them if I knew them & if indeed they were in game development. Sure enough, they were who I thought; they were a game developer & just happened to be looking for coders. A few weeks later I found myself moving to Orlando & starting my career in the industry.
