My Voice Experience

Several years of large market radio experience, including on-air and commercial writing, production and voicing. Was also responsible for live emcee appearances for local and regional clients, as well as host for many local and regional festivals. Off-camera cable spots for Charter Communications.

Prior to my radio experience, I toured for four years as a singer with a jazz combo - singing the songs of the great torch singers and big band vocalists of the 30's, 40's & 50's and a few new jazz favorites. (ie., Ella Fitgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Dinah Washington, Nancy Wilson, Peggy Lee, Patti Page, Kaye Starr, Sinatra, Diane Schuur, Natalie Cole, Diana Krall).

My Training

BS Sound Engineering - Appalachian State University - Boone, NC (1996)

Following a brief stint in Boston, MA - I became News Director for a large market station in the Southeastern United States on a walk-in audition with no experience. My GM was a radio veteran who turned out to be a fabulous mentor. In addition to delivering the news and co-hosting the AM drive, I maintained a heavy production load including writing, voicing & producing everything from commercials and PSA's to station and regional event promos.

Aside from that, I also have over 20 years of musical training and performance experience. The last 14 of which have been spent as a professional musician along the eastern seaboard of the United States.

I am currently a frontperson/singer/trumpeter for the US Navy Showband in Newport, RI., but my heart is in the voiceover world.
