squeeeeeeeeee!
I am still in shock,as a mother, that he had to move away for it...
He has been there about a month now and is LOVING IT!
He is making more $ out of the gate in a profession he has passion for than I have worked up to in 30 years in a job I despise!
I a
beyond thrilled for him and proud that he followed his dreams and never gave up.
what is he doing?
He is under a non-disclosure agreement- so even I don't know the full details of what he is working on
exactly-
But I can say; he has been obsessed with video games since a young child and into adulthood...
While he was young I told him "life lesson #1 -find something you love to do and to find a way to make money doing it"
It was my mantra to him his entire life... he listened...
in college he studied & got degrees in music(jazz theory/musician)/sound arts(audio engineer)/computer science(programming & coding)
and has been attending game sound con/ game developers conventions and more for a few years showing demos he built in his
home studio.
In a nutshell- he's an audio nerd and with his music & programing back ground he took it into a whole other level.
He got noticed at the conventions
& was brought in to work with the audio team at a
huge startup company working in mixed reality light field technology.
It's all really fascinating actually.
