2008 Highlights:

Phoenix Contact, Germany
This was a very exciting project because I was hired by the Kölner Mobilé Unternehmenstheater & Showproduktion GmbH in Germany to narrate in English a theater production/presentation highlighting Phoenix Contact's products and services. Phoenix Contact is an international leader in connection technology.

Artifex Consultants, LLC
This one made the list because it was a first for me. I got to lend my voice to three different Egyptian gods in the newly developed computer game "Ancient Quest of Saqqarah".

Tetra Pak, Germany
Just about anything I can think of, from milk to orange juice to vegetable broth, is packaged in Tetra Pak "briks", "wedges" or other forms of Tetra Pak packaging. I got to narrate an employee training project for Tetra Pak.
