BIO
Hello! I'm a Dallas-based Video Game Sound Designer and Musician looking to bring your visuals to life with audio.
For the better part of my life I've been involved in music - either creating it or playing it. After graduating from Berklee with a performance degree, I intended to pursue a music career but somewhere along the way I began to crave something different. I couldn't put my finger on what that something was, and so, in lieu of remaining a broke graduate, I went home to get a job... and get married.
Over the last several years, that something became more clear when my interest in video games was rekindled. Today the thought of bringing a world to life with sound is what drives me forward.
After much study and practice, I am prepared to assist you in the design and implementation of audio for your games. Let's build something together!
