About

I believe and it has been proven that creating compelling audio helps to increase a sale’s Metacritic rating and overall emotional feedback to the player/user.

I have over 20 years experience creating audio for every entertainment platform. I have worked for Electronic Arts, Bioware, Activision, Raven Software, Sony, Ubisoft and several independent studios. I have not just created sounds but have worked on everything from audio pipelines, tool design, full audio design, asset creation, game mixing and implementation.
