I regularly handle many storytelling and authorative news and sports scripts a day for my network stations, and have also slid into the animation world in film and tv.

Additional Skills

I've worked with many favourite producers for years and have access to their studios and skills to make your project work, if needed. I'm also a writer having written commercials, promos, imaging, poetry, short stories, play/movie scenes and reviews, acticles and columns for years should you any help in that way on your project. I take in all direction during sessions and work until you have what you need, what you want, and at times, what you may not have considered if and only if it's appropriately welcomed into the creative process. And I do like to have fun with it all.
