Ethan Gillespie

Name one person you looked up to growing up and why.
Aside from my Dad, my uncle was one of my biggest influences growing up because he was the most happy, animated, and super successful adult who I wanted to emulate. He brought himself out of poverty with sheer grit and built an empire, which he sold and now travels the world counting his dollars and sipping great wine. What a dream.
What superpower would you choose and why?
To have mental power over metal objects would be cool because it allows you to do a lot of amazing things.
Where did you grow up? And what's your best memory of growing up there?
I grew up on the west side of SLC, UT (Kearns). My favorite memory is riding my bike all over town and acting like an idiot e.g. throw rocks, break stuff, play sports, etc....back when kids weren't wrapped in bubblewrap and were allowed to roam like the nomadic tribes of old.
What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?
Rock Climbing without ropes, or even proper shoes up one of Salt Lake's many canyons. Crazy/Stupid.
Favorite part about working at Integrated Associates.
I love the freedom that we all get to create our own trail, and continuously break new territory as a company. It doesn't hurt that we are surrounded with friends that work here, we have a lot of fun.
