I was in college, getting my degree in computer information systems, and I realized that I really didn’t want to sit behind a computer for the rest of my life. When I graduated, I decided to go to Full Sail University for my audio degree. That was like musical boot camp. It really solidified the fact that music is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life."
