GamersInfo.net: Did you grow up wanting to work in the gaming, not necessarily electronic, industry? Or were your goals different? And if so, what were they?

David Bowman: The industry is younger than I am. I had no idea what I wanted to do growing up. My extended family all owned their own businesses. My dad had a bar and a bowling alley. My grandfather was a general contractor. My uncles were in construction. I spent the time I wasn't in school working in the bowling alley, and driving a bulldozer, dump truck or a backhoe. I would often come home dirty, exhausted and knowing that I didn't want to do this for the rest of my life. It's honest and true work, but I hoped I could do something that would make a larger difference in the world. I didn't have a clue what that would be, but since I was good at school, I assumed I would just keep going to school until some professor magically recognized my talent and told me "David, you should be a X.". I was very externally motivated, looking to my family and teachers to explain to me what I was supposed to do, why I was alive.
