Megan: You were an architect, that’s what you were trained
to be, so what drew you to this side?
Bob: I went to an architecture firm, so I thought I was
going to be doing architecture, but I was introduced to the software, so it was
kind of a slight-of-hand. I actually think that it was the universe in alignment.
I’d been looking for something that fulfilled me a little better than what I
had chosen, even though I loved doing architecture. This seemed to fit very
comfortably for me. I knew how to program, I was a big stickler on details, I
knew AutoCad, I knew graphical space design. When we were tracking spaces for
these companies, it was everything I had learned over my forty years of life
all focused into one spot. It was very appealing for me. One of the other
aspects that made it comfortable was that the pressure of architecture is very
demanding. We are to protect the public, we are licensed in states. Our desire
is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public, even though we are
trying to design a very beautiful space. In the IWMS world, those pressures of
safety and making deadlines to the city council were gone. It relieved me of
the pressure and provided meaningful information for the companies. It was a
very fascinating godsend.
