Education

none, was purely for part-time interestGeorgia State Univeristy
- Atlanta, United States
Classical Studies, Philosophy, Linguistics
I'd always wanted to study ancient Greek and Latin, so when I had a lull in work I took up the extra time by going back to school to scratch that bugging itch.

None, chose to pursue courses of interest rather than requiredBerklee College of Music
- Boston, United States
Music Production and Engineering and Music Synth dual major, I spent too many credits studying the courses that were most interesting to me that I ran out of credits for some required music composition classes. Fortunately, those required classes have never been needed for my career, but those extra courses have been vital over the intervening years. I count that as a decision well-made.
