I was given the the opportunity to decide between producing for the podcast or joining Achievement Hunter, and I thought “well okay, I like the idea of producing, don’t get me wrong, but it would be a little bit more official in capacity, I would have to take things very very seriously.” While we do take things seriously at times at Achievement Hunter, we like to say we are professionally unprofessional, we like to have fun and bounce ideas off of each other. So while in the live-action department those are my focuses, and that was also when they kind of cultivated the new podcasting- uh, the live-action elements of the podcasting department, so that kind of became its own entity of itself too. I like doing a lot of directing and screenwriting, as I said before, and I was heavily into editing too, I still edit a little bit but not as much as I used to. I started off in the live-action department, again coming off of UT and working on film and film-focused areas. One thing led to another, and you know, now, 7 years later, I’m still working there. So with that opportunity in front of me I thought “okay I’ll just hop onto a double major”, I dual majored there, and luckily I was able to meet Miles Luna while I was there, who also works on RWBY and a lot of other properties at Rooster Teeth, and he gave me a fantastic recommendation for a Rooster Teeth internship. I also grew up about fifteen minutes away from Funimation, and being a giant anime nerd I thought “wow that’d be really cool”, but I had no idea how to get into it or what the intricacies are. ![]() Halfway through college I discovered the film department and I thought “wow, this is a really fantastic way to express yourself through a different genre, or a different medium.” That’s when I fell in love with the idea of screenwriting, directing, voice over work as well. I started off as a theater major because I was interested in acting and I always loved musical theater, and actually at the time my final goal was to end up at somewhere like New York and trying to do maybe like a Broadway break-in or something. I went to the University of Texas in Austin. Why did you move to Austin? Was it for a job, or for college, or…? ![]() So, yeah, I’ve been very honored to literally do what I love for a living. Especially with my entertainment jobs now, I get to do voice acting, I get to do podcasts, my focus primarily at work is now with the Achievement Hunter group that does video gameplay focus. So I’ve had the privilege of working at the type of company that encourages that type of lifestyle and really tries to influence you and allow you to express your creativity really. ![]()
