Apt To Game

I've always had a passion for gaming. Video games, board games, role playing games. Anything that let me use my mind and body to provide some entertainment in either a competitive or cooperative fashion appealed to me. I always thought I wanted to make games - video games, in particular. I went into computer programming to start towards that path. Programming was great, I loved it, but it turns out that making a game is nowhere near as exciting as playing one. Programming a video game turned me off of games in general for a while. Because of that, I stopped trying to design games and put games in general out of my mind for a while. I did some application development and computer repair, and finally somehow found myself in the Oil and Gas industry as a millwright (industrial mechanic). Becoming a millwright removed computers from my life and opened me back up to gaming as fun instead of work. I still very much enjoy my video games, and was introduced to board games by friends.
