I wanted to be an Imagineer and then at 50 years old, I fell into it after decades of being an IT Management Consultant.

Are they sending you to Florida? And did you consult for Disney prior to becoming an Imagineer?

Nope. I just started working on a passion project one day and made a Dark Ride in VR, and it ended up being my career as it was so well received. Turned that dark ride into a theme park. Still have years of work to imagineer more content, but that is half the fun.
