Troy began his professional career as a recording engineer in 1977. Shortly thereafter, he expanded into providing concert sound-reinforcement and technical support services for many "internationally-renowned" performing artists. As a concert Sound Engineer, he mixed sound for "The Pee-Wee Herman Show, Live at the Roxy Theater" and the HBO special "The Pee-Wee Herman Show", as well as many other performing artists, including; The Pat Metheny Group, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and many others.
After a couple years of doing concert sound around the Pacific Northwest, he moved to Hollywood California, to enhance his education and experience in audio and music recording and production, for the film, television and record industries. As a Recording Engineer, Troy recorded soundtrack music for over 35 prime-time major network television programs, including A-Team, Dallas, Hill St. Blues, Moonlighting, and many others. His film credits include Walt Disney's animated classic "Oliver and Company," and Don Bluth's "An American Tail."
He spent 5 years working with Paramount Recording Studios as a technician and audio engineer before beginning his education in computer music production and graphic design. Two years later Troy was avidly educating himself in 3D modeling, rendering and animation development and production, while working as a recording engineer for Buena Vista Sound at Walt Disney Studios in Burbank California. By 1990, he was working as a soundtrack composer and music producer, while obtaining an education in simulation and virtual reality technologies.
In 1992, he began working extensively in video engineering and production, giving occasional dissertations to college students on virtual reality spacecrafting, as well as computer music development and production for film and video.
In 1995, Troy began devoting his full time to learning Internet and web-based technologies. By 1997, he was functioning as Director of Internet and Multimedia Development for a high-tech telecommunications firm in the bay-area of central California.
Since 1995, he has worked in information management and technology as a Project Manager; Project Lead; Network Administrator; Database Developer and Administrator; System Architect; Software Engineer; and Webmaster, and has provided custom e-business solutions for such companies as ComSys; Digital DJ Inc.; JCPenney; Johnson & Johnson Medical; MarketPoint International; The Creative Group; and many others.
To this day, Troy continues to design and build intelligent web application software and information distribution systems, and is currently working toward the establishment of what entertainment industry professionals and the fans of their work will come to recognize and embrace as the greatest thing to ever grace the entertainment industry, but more on that later!!!
Finally, Troy is an award-winning songwriter, composer and poet. His graphic art (Alienscape) was featured on the cover of the December 2005 issue of Science Fiction Weekly (Cover No. 450). His online image gallery can be experienced at: http://www.renderosity.com/homepage.php?page=3&userid=397447
