Music
I began playing guitar when I was 11 years old. I would try to learn every rock and metal song that I could, and I was eventually able to hear my way through many of my favorite songs note for note.
I was self taught until I began taking guitar classes in high school.
I had an amazing teacher that taught me the importance of the dichotomy between formal study and raw talent. During high school I participated in state classical guitar competitions where I received the highest rating for my performances.
When I graduated high school, I began studying music at a local college where my interests changed from classical to Jazz guitar. I eventually ended up attending Berklee College of music and pursued my life long interest of making music for games.
