My guest today is the co founder of BioWare.
While a medical student at the University of Alberta,
he told his future wife that if he could, he'd make video games for a living.
After he graduated, the dream came true.
In 1995, he and two friends found a bioware in his basement.
The following year, the trio released Shattered Steel.
And two years after that, Baldur's Gate,
which revolutionized the world of computer role playing games.
In the years that followed, BioWare released a string of blockbuster hits,
including Mass Effect and Star Knights of the old republic.
In 2007, just 12 years after its founding,
the company was sold to Electronic Arts as part of a deal worth $860 million.
In recent years, my guest has started a brewing company, Blind Enthusiasm,
and today runs two microbreweries and a restaurant in Edmonton, where he has spent most of his life.
