The Harten Center

For Underprivileged Sounds

...because good taste is a terrible thing to waste

The part of mr. Harten is played by Clark Crawford.

I began my work in the game industry in 1999, cutting my teeth at Origin Systems. After that, I worked for Human Code, Digital Anvil, Acclaim, and Midway as an in-house audio resource. Additionally, I have served as both a freelance consultant and contractor for a wide variety of companies and projects. In 2009, I accepted an invitation to join Robert Rodriguez’s post-production sound team, crossing over into the world of feature films and in 2022, I joined Team Audio, a game-audio contractor cooperative.

I currently hold the titles of Audio Mercenary at The Harten Center for Underprivileged Sounds, Sound Designer/Sound Effects Editor at Troublemaker Studios, and Senior Sound Designer at Team Audio.

During my time in the industry, I have served in virtually every role of audio production including VO/Foley recordist, sound designer, composer, implementer, and project manager. I am organized and production-minded with a keen ability to collaborate with other disciplines, and be creative within the confines of both a budget and a schedule.

Noteworthy titles/contributions include:

JUDAS, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, In Space with Markiplier, The Ragin' 13, We Can Be Heroes, Seis Manos, Alita: Battle Angel, Chronos, Skyshine's BEDLAM, DC Universe Online, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Machete, Kinect Star Wars, Darksiders (I-III), Spy Kids: All the Time in the World, The Daily, Predators, Spyborgs, Blacksite: Area 51, The Red Star, NBA Jam, Freelancer, American McGee’s Alice, and Ultima Ascension.

Prior to starting my career, I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Music with an emphasis in Sound Recording Technology from Southwest Texas State University (now known as Texas State University).

And... in my free time, I enjoy writing, playing, and recording music, spending time with my smokin' hot wife and our 21-year old triplets, running a home-based brewery, and trying to keep up with all the amazing music/movies/games that are constantly coming out.
