Kirk Wheeler ('93) has used his radio/television/film degree in diverse ways. Wheeler works as an audio engineer who mixes the foreign music and effects for TV shows such as Castle and Once Upon a Time so they can be dubbed internationally.
He also has created an app, Mixeroo, that allows children to mix, too. He wanted a music app for his then 2-year-old daughter who was enthralled with the iPad, but he couldn't find one. So, he taught himself code, had a friend arrange music and, six months later, Mixeroo was born.
"It combines all of the skills I learned at UNT as well as many others I have picked up along the way," he says.
