Biography[]

Stafford was initially hired by Blizzard on a one-week trial basis. He spent that first week stationed in Mike Morhaime's office, porting music and sound effects for the PC version of The Lost Vikings.[4] He later worked on the composition of the StarCraft OST.[5] Due to budget and time constraints, he and his team had to improvise in many areas.[4]

For StarCraft, Stafford provided the voices of the zergling[6], SCV, scout, wraith, and carrier[7], along with most of the protoss and zerg sound effects.[4] He also did the voiceover in the UED Victory Report cinematic.[8]

Stafford returned to compose the music for StarCraft II,[9] as well as reprising his roles as the SCV and Wraith.[10] He also worked on amplifying the sound and music of StarCraft: Remastered.[3]
