Dave is a lifelong musician, but transitioned to the technical side early on as a studio engineer. After spending many years in the music industry, he moved into post-production for film during his graduate work at the University of Colorado, taught audio production in higher education at the Art Institute of Austin, and began exploring the breadth of experiences audio can bring to games. Having worked with independent developers and studios alike as a sound designer and composer, he also remains grounded in the recording studio by mastering soundtrack releases for indie and AAA composers from around the world. He currently works as an Audio Generalist for Magic Leap in Florida.
