Hi! I’m Mac & I have a hard time writing about myself, but let’s give it a try!
It all started way back in 1992…
Jump forward a bit to 2014 and I’ve graduated from Full Sail University with a Bachelor’s degree in Recording Arts. After graduation I worked odd jobs and small bizarre audio contracts until I landed my first in-house gig with a cinematic audiobook company based out of Rockville, MD just outside of Washington DC.
I left the audiobook company in 2018, but I lived on the MD side of the DC area until 2021. During that time I contracted with local studios, picked up remote game sound (and non-game sound) gigs, and worked as an audio producer and editor for Johns Hopkins University’s online courses.
My fiance and I (and our corgi mix Gretzky) moved to our current home of Austin, TX in early 2022. The freelance work continued in multiple varieties, and in August of 2022 I was fortunate enough to land my first AAA contract working as a sound designer with Arkane Studios here in Austin.
Since then I’ve continued working as a sound designer for games picking up various contracts, as well as a few non-interactive audio projects.
When I’m not working, I’m either messing around with one of my film cameras, playing video games, making mediocre music, or spending time outside.
Also if you’d like to check it out, I created an LLC to house all of my linear sound work called Clean Wavs. (I really like the name I came up with, but in retrospect I often wonder how non-audio folks pronounce it when they come across it)
Thanks for checking out my website. If you’re interested in viewing my resume it can be found here, and professional references are available upon request.
Cheers!
