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.

Mantra
is

This
is
a
re5lection
of
my
military
work
and
the
thought
process
we
have
every

mission
comes

stop
at

to

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.

12. Composing for video games

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.

14. Military Core Values

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

15. Realistic approach to games
https://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-aBRUbN-

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.

16. Unusual experience, deeply motivated

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.

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.

22. Time with family

ultimately
means
that
I

things
that

me.

When
I’m

I
want
to
be
able
to
look
back
at
my
life
and
be
able
to
say
I
did
all
the
things
I
wanted
to
do,
I
followed
my
heart

dreams
and
have
absolutely
no

with
both

This,
is
