My most recent voice over work was for an outfit that produces an online MBA course. I did several straight and character voices for them. Also, I read the role of NYC Detective Paul Dawson for the Electric Sheep Company which produces online games that appear on the Second Life Website. This one in conjunction with CSI New York. I just finished an Independent film (2/08 to be released later this year), "The Devil's Tail," shot in Mexico. I played a retired Texas Border Patrolman who investigates the smuggling and murder of illegals across the border. Also, I did a student film in which I played a upscale Park Avenue type with a FDR accent. I have acted professionally taught English and Theatre in college and high school for 40+ years.

I have done commercials, industrial films, voice, and print for major companies like Orkin Exterminators, Ford and Dodge dealers, local banks in the South East and Delaware Valley, Japan Airlines, IBM, as well as industrial films for companies like AT&T. I taught high school in the NYC school system. I practiced my acting, and I kept my voice in shape by reading to my students.
