Thousand young people Impacted
Through mentoring, volunteering and teaching. Many former students moved on to pursue successful careers in gaming and technology.
“Darryl's level of impact on my institution's educational program was extraordinary to say the least. His expertise of game development combined with his natural talents as a mentor proved to be a perfect mixture for a great instructor. Thanks largely in part to Darryl's coaching and philosophies, I was quickly able to employ my skills and build a rapport to acquire a full time position at a high profile AAA game development studio. I highly recommend Darryl as both an instructor and a colleague.”
