What do you like most about GBC?
“The collaborative aspect is what I find most appealing about the GBC theme. Teamwork, creativity, and problem solving skills are all needed when running a large multi-day collaborative GBC layout.”
Are you an engineer?
“No, but I previously worked as a technical designer (mission and level design) in the video game industry for 15 years. This included stints at Rockstar Games, Ubisoft Entertainment, and the now defunct United Front Games.”
Where do you get all your Lego?
“Usually on sale at various stores. Sometimes bulk from the Lego Pick-a-Brick wall, or online via Bricklink.”
