Howdy!

I'm a Sound Designer from Belton, TX, currently living in Minneapolis, MN with my better half, Leo, and our two dogs. Thanks for visiting!

As a child, my mother (a recreational therapist) taught me the joy of making, and of play. As I got older, I became enamored with video games, and in high school I picked up a guitar and was introduced to Unity 3D. I completed a Bachelor of Science degree in Visualization from Texas A&M University, where I mingled with animators, game designers, programmers, and performance artists, eventually forging my own Sound Design path.

I went on to pursue an MFA in Sound Design at the Savannah College of Art & Design, when the Covid 19 Pandemic struck. While this would force me to finish my degree largely with online classes, it also opened up remote opportunities that were previously only offered in-person. I was selected for Turn 10 Studios' Summer Apprenticeship program, going on to properly join the team and ship Forza Motorsport (2023). In the following year, I worked with Meta's Creative Audio team developing Meta Horizon Worlds, and most recently, I've joined forces with Warner Brothers and Epic Games to work on Fortnite, where I continue to find solutions and find the joy in making play.

In my free time, I can be found playing video and board games, learning about history, watching Formula 1 racing or Minnesota Wild Hockey, making music for myself, cooking, or enjoying a beer (not mutually exclusive).

Some additional fun facts:

• Yes, I do deliberately say Howdy as a greeting.
• My dogs collectively have 3 eyes and 2 working ears.
• Pineapple belongs on pizza. This isn't about me, this is a fact.
