My Voice Experience

From 1967 until 1982, I did radio voiceovers while on the staff of companies ranging from Heritage Broadcasting to ABC Radio.
In 1982, I opened an advertising agency, and continued doing radio voiceovers, and added work for TV ads, special events, phone messaging, training videos, documentaries, and presentations.
I sold the company in 1991, but have continued doing freelance voice work while founding another advertising agency, & writing and producing jingles and other music.
