Dave Lougheed

Toronto-based web professional.

I live in downtown Toronto and met my wife Kyla in 1998. We met in Mexico and got married at Ontario Place in October 2003. I wrote her a song and played it on my guitar to propose to her in our favourite Italian restaurant.

Facts about me:

- I run a department of usability professionals and interaction architects at web agency in downtown Toronto.

- I have been online since the Toronto BBS scene in the early 80s

- I grew up at Yonge & Finch.

- I really enjoy my job. I'm extremely lucky.

- I can "snap" beercaps with reckless velocity and can probably hurt you.

- I've been playing guitar since I was 10 but am now hopelessly out of practice.

- I met my wife in Puerto Vallarta Mexico in 1998. I was on spring break with my best friend and we met two girls at a cafe, one of whom was my future wife.

- I used to volunteer teaching phys-ed at the Kingston Prison for Women while at Queen's University.

-My first concert was seeing Guns N'Roses open for The Cult at CNE Stadium in the mid 80s.

- I saw a Commodore PET for the first time in Grade 4. I remember getting pretty excited about writing programs that made ASCII stick men do jumping jacks.

- I have been building web sites professionally since 1996 and that's all I know how to do.
