About

I started in audio QA at EA Canada, embedded on more than 20 titles and setting the standard for our 5.1 and 7.1 test rooms. Since then I’ve been an Audio Artist on Frostbite titles, a dialogue editor for Relic, a senior audio designer at Hothead, and Lead Audio Designer then Audio Director at Offworld.

I’ve been hooked on sound since hand-building 5.1 mixes for my family’s Halloween haunted house.
