un-scripted television, promos to commercials, I do it all. So what is next for me? I like to keep ahead of the curve when it comes to emerging technologies. I recently updated my studio to 7.1.4 to support editing and mixing in Dolby Atmos. I also built an Oculus rig to create content for 360/ VR. Most recently, I created some ambisonic mixes for some gallery content that was included in the recently released VR video game Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. The best way to set yourself apart from the competition is to get good with technology and formats not everyone else on the block uses. Beyond that, I am also trying to get more in touch with the LA fi lm community. I joined MPSE. I have attended the last few Mix Sound for Film and Television events that happened in Los Angeles. When I make it out there, I try to visit at least a few studios and networks as much as possible. I am applying to be added to the industry experience roster, and I would like to eventually join the Motion Picture Editors Guild. Even in the uncertainty that the last year has brought, I have continued to stay busy doing what I love. While I can't say I wouldn't consider a move to California if the right opportunity presented itself, I consider myself lucky to be able to live in Austin while pursuing a successful career in sound.

Working in fi lm outside of the studio system was (and still is) a hussle. You not only have to be good at what you do, you have to be able to build relationships.
