HELLO THERE!

I believe that with enough determination and discipline, nothing is impossible. Not long ago, I was a Bank Teller who dreamt of some day working in the game industry. Today, I'm an award-winning Sound Designer living that dream! Here's how I did it.

 

While on the job hunt, I went through a gauntlet of final round interviews at Sony PlayStation, EA, Insomniac Games, Blizzard Entertainment, and Crystal Dynamics only to get one or two sentences of feedback, and a ton of rejection emails.

 

My breakthrough finally happened while attending GDC as a Conference Associate gaining mentorship from amazing game industry veterans who helped me realize exactly what I was doing wrong.

 

Three months later armed with this new knowledge, my dream job offer finally happened. Suddenly, I was able to quit my day job in banking and begin living my dream job working full-time in AAA game audio on Marvel's Midnight Suns. Hell yeah!

​​

Word of my success spread to former instructors who began referring their students and recent grads which led the to the creation of the Game Audio FAQ. This free resource is the culmination of everything I learned based on real experiences and honest answers from various friends and colleagues.

 

Now, what began as informal mentorship has evolved into official Career Coaching and I'm very proud to have helped several people quit their day jobs to start their dream jobs.

There's a method to the madness and those that know, succeed!
