Voice Actor, Copy Writer
HERE'S A LITTLE ABOUT ME AND MY VOICE OVER EXPERIENCE
The seeds of my voiceover career were sown while I was in high school in the mid-1960s. We had a campus radio station at which I was one of the first members. I continued to learn and grow in college radio and, while still a student, began my professional career in 1969. I worked as a radio DJ for the next 7 years and started picking up a few freelance voiceover jobs along the way.
In 1975 I was recruited by one of my voice over clients, an ad agency, to join their staff where I eventually became Creative Director.
In 1978 my old radio station asked me to come back as Production Director and I remained in that position until 1997. While there, another of my freelance clients, the leading local TV station, recruited me to become a staff announcer, a position I have held since 1986.

VOICE DESCRIPTION
If there's one word to describe my voice and style, it's "versatile." I can do hard-sell, soft-sell, and pretty much anything in between. My voice acting skills also include character voices, some celebrity impersonations, and cartoon voices, as well as a number of accents and dialects.
One other useful characteristic of my voice is that it cuts through background music exceptionally well. This means you can mix the music reasonably high and my voiceovers still come through loud and clear.
