Born in Montreal, educated in the Maritimes and now living in Vancouver, Barbara Dawson considers herself to be as Canadian as a Stompin' Tom song. Before children, Barbara was a Production Manager for George Lucas' company in San Francisco. It became evident that it was time for a change when her daughter's first words were in Spanish. She has since created her own business as a recruiter to the computer generated visual effect and animation industry in Vancouver. From a long line of cheapskates, saving money is a religion that Barbara and her convert husband practice with great devotion. Thirteen years ago they traveled the world together on $30/day.
