LEGO Discovery Center: Brick Factor Columbus OHIO: the search for the next Master Builder

Top 10 in the Nation

Have you ever had something stuck in your mind as a kid? Living your life not realizing that the same thing that that you dreamed in your childhood would actually be a reality? Well this particular weekend that happened to me.

After long love for LEGO, I thought about becoming one of the designers. And quickly realized that it will be an unreachable goal, as I was in Columbus, Ohio. I was nowhere near where LEGO was hiring. And then there was this other thing... I really didn't know what it took to get the job. Do I need a Masters in Engineering, in Physics, or in Public Affairs. At that point I had no idea, and either way not in my cards at the moment.

But that didn't stop me from buying, imagining, and building awesome sets. And deep down inside I held onto this idea of one day building for LEGO.

AND I DID THIS CRAZY THING!!!

I entered the Brick Factor for LEGO Discovery Center. A search for a Master Builder. A job interview that was public as it gets. Three round competition to find the BEST of the BEST.

A thousand people applied

One hundred people were selected for the competition

Eighty arrive to round ONE

Forty move on to round TWO

Top TEN are selected for round THREE

Winner is chosen and presented with a permanent full time job

I MADE IT THROUGH ROUND THREE!!!! AMAZING!

I am TOP 10 in the NATION!
