Co-founder of the critically acclaimed band, Mankind Liberation Front, he became a playable character in the PlayStation game Rocketbirds (which his band New World Revolution also provided tracks and original score for), and collaborated in the Academy Award-nominated audio design of the film Apocalypto.

This kind of material and skill needs to be well TAUGHT. The instructors were excellent teachers and mentors. They are very passionate about the craft - and are extremely knowledgeable as well as experienced. But they also are very good at articulating the lessons and passing along that wisdom so we can learn... The course was an excellent mix of discussion as well as hands-on training. The instructors also set an exceptional tone for our classroom and created an environment that was motivating and optimal for learning. Great job!
