He attended the New England School of Communications for audio engineering before composing the FTL soundtrack. He also grew up playing video games and recalls thinking making music for them would be the "coolest job ever".[1]

He later moved to California in hopes of getting into the video game industry, but found work at Google as a datacenter technician and other jobs[4] until receiving the opportunity to make the FTL soundtrack.[5]
