Maybe there's something in the water

Mark Fuller has a master's degree in mechanical engineering, but even as a student he spent much of his time in the theater department. In 1983 he combined his passions in Wet, a company that creates complex, theatrical fountains for clients such as the Bellagio in Las Vegas and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Today he employs 220, but the early days were tough. "We're not an amenity" was his sales pitch to reluctant business owners. "We're something that can make you more successful."
