My voice over work has been very limited. When I was younger, I copied the styles of local disc jockies and entertained my peers and family members, but have not pursued voice over work seriously. Recently, I have been exposed to the general public more than most and queried as to why I have not pursued a career in voice overs or broadcasting. It is difficult for a person with many talents to isolate the one that furnishes personal satisfaction as well as an income.

Skills and Accomplishments
Toured internationally for thirteen years as an accomplished musician with numerous professional musical groups and entertainment ensembles.
My entertainment history supports my interest and knowledge relating to voice over work. For many years, I learned commercial musical material in order to perform it as much like the original artist as possible. My professional music career lasted for more than thirty-years.
