Mark Krutik
President and Founder of the Brock Accessibility Association, holding an Advanced Diploma in Computer Programming and Analysis and currently pursuing a Bachelors Degree and Advanced Diploma in partnership with Brock University and Niagara College in Game Design. I have a keen interest in game accessibility, audio production / composition, video game production and excelling my leadership skills. Hoping to expand my arsenal of skills in Game Design and have the opportunity to experience the world of games and offer my skills, optimism. and work ethic to gaming companies and their employees. Additionally, I am hoping to pursue a master degree specializing in game accessibility and the representation of people with disabilities in video games.
About
In my 29 years, and being disabled since childhood, I have learned a lot of things and I strive to succeed in anything I do, whether it is spending long and restless hours improving my technical and software skills or working to become a better version of myself. I love what I do and try to be as optimistic as possible and I try to be a role model and help people strive to be better versions of themselves. Additionally, I was listening to Jazz since I was 5 years old and I have been playing the trumpet for over 17 years. I am well-versed in a variety of many skills including, programming, art, music, game design and project management. I am really interested in either specializing in accessibility for video games, sound production or being a producer at a Game Development Company. I hope all these skills will eventually help me start a business in Game Accessibility and they will allow me to educate people about disability and how video games improve the lives of people with disabilities especially when they face social barriers.
