Message

At Light & Wonder, I oversee audio from start to finish for casino slot games, including projects in the “Huff ’n Puff” series, Voodoo Jackpots, and Legends of the Deep. I compose, mix, and produce music and sound effects, then implement the audio in FMOD for game features with layered effects and synced tracks.

Previously, at Global Gaming Group / Viva Technology, I composed and produced audio for more than 60 casino slot games. I also wrote and produced jingles and music at Jingle Horse Music, including a commercial for Breo Ellipta, and wrote the theme song for MTV’s The Substitute at Red Pants Music.
