Talk about current military goals and values you’ve learned, crosstraining into a battle field airman position. Military has taught me to work independently and to exceed in everything I do, no room for failure.

Childhood and lessons learned

Very motivated and driven to succeed, don’t let obstacles get in my way. Military has allowed me to establish these values and live by them that I can apply to the civilian world.

P3. My  brand  Mantra  is  motivated,  dedicated.  This  is  a  re5lection  of  my  military  work  and  the  thought  process  we  have  every  day,  mission  comes  5irst,  stop  at  nothing  to  accomplish  it.

I  can  easily  apply  this  theme  to  my  work  as  a  professional  composer.  I  remain  driven  and  motivated  to  complete  my  schooling  as  well  as  pursue  my  career  in  music.  Any  project  I  have  I  apply  these  concepts  and  make  sure  I  do  a  phenomenal  job.

P4. I  would  eventually  like  to  spend  a  few  more  years  in  the  military  and  then  get  on  board  a  gaming  company  such  as  Bethesda  composing  soundtracks  for  video  games.

Bethesda  has  created  many  games  that  I’ve  enjoyed  since  I  was  a  child  such  as  the  Elder  Scroll  series.  

Military Core Values

http://pixabay.com/en/bomber-aircraft-attack-attacker-62880/Photo Credit: Wikilimages

As  a  composer  you’re  often  working  from  your  home  doing  freelance  work.  The  military  has  instilled  several  values  that  will  help  me  be  self-­‐motivated  and  ensure  I  can  be  dedicated  to  completing  my  work  while  keeping  myself  accountable

Realistic approach to gameshttps://www.flickr.com/photos/bagogames/14799366583/in/photolist-5CRqBo-hh4Xpa-njQBop-oxLC5P-4jhg7R-5nuJ1P-4x8fNr-4xcroW-4x8fSi-4xcrLU-aBRUhb-dqEPec-akoyqi-ncRaFk-nqkaa4-94tXVh-aBPegF-5CRqts-akrn5w-c59QrW-aBRTQQ-aBRUvo-aBRTXW-aBPeqK-oXrnww-akoyik-oFrPdD-aBPebX-88MLSw-88MMe7-88JxuV-2nG2Nh-

In  addition  I  can  bring  my  experiences  from  the  military  to  bring  a  sense  of  realism  to  the  games,  portraying  the  emotions  and  experiences  we  deal  with  while  serving  into  the  game  and  my  music.

The  military  has  provided  a  huge  advantage  for  me.  I’m  motivated  and  dedicated  to  my  work,  will  stop  at  nothing  to  accomplish  my  goals,  and  can  bring  a  sense  of  realism  into  many  styles  games  from  the  things  I’ve  experienced  that  most  designers  and  composers  haven’t.  

Full Sail advantage

P.5 Full Sail has provided me a huge advantage by having my music in some video games already and teaching me the various composition and platform techniques for video games.

I’d  like  to  spend  a  while  longer  in  the  military  and  develop  my  military  career  further.  After  that  I’d  like  to  switch  into  the  guard/reserve  and  either  work  from  home  doing  freelance  work  or  as  a  composer  for  a  gaming  company.
