About
My name is Ryan Jaeger and I’m a 26 year old freelance game sound designer / musician located just a few minutes from NASA, in Friendswood, Texas.
I’m currently doing sound and level design for an online action RPG, as well as playing bass in a band called Jim Jones Jamboree.
I am open minded to creative new projects and employment opportunities, so feel free to send me a proposal via e-mail, snail mail, carrier pigeon or by phone.
