During his high school years, Terrance began writing scripts and being involved in theater production. He leveraged his knowledge of production to build digital media content for artists during his first couple of years away from home. This led to a chance encounter to join EA Sports.
He rose through the ranks of the gaming industry over the next 15 years. From testing games, designing games, and producing games West continued to pursue his dreams even with all of the adversity he faced over the years.
“A lot of people have never seen a dream manifest. They thought I was crazy, but I wanted to tell authentic stories that could really reach people.” He is now one of the leading voices in the industry with over 23 title credits.
His passion extends outside of gaming to professional and cultural development. He has certifications for the product owner, product management, digital leadership, business strategy as well as diversity and inclusion management.
Of his several projects, he says changing the culture is his life long project. “Our equity as a culture cannot be denied. We have inherited systemic inequality that has continued to paralyze our growth as a culture,” says West. “We have to break our generational curses. That is my goal every day.”
