northern New England "down east" accent.

Most of my voice over work has occurred in a Public Radio setting. I'm currently the director of Audience, Programs & Outreach for North Country Public Radio in Canton, NY. Between 2006 and 2020, I hosted a daily magazine show at Milwaukee Public Radio. I also conducted interviews and produced and voiced features. Before that I was a news reader and music host for Vermont Public Radio between 1993 and 2000. Additionally, I voiced a series of training videos for Comprehensive Language Center, Inc. in Arlington, VA in 2005. I narrated two independent films in New Hampshire in the mid-1990's and was the voice for an interactive computer program at Dartmouth College in 1994. I have a BA in Drama from SUNY Purchase, and some post graduate work in theatre at UC Berkeley and Rutgers University. I took voice and speech classes at American Conservatory Theatre (ACT) in San Francisco. I have also studied and performed music (instrumental and vocal) from the time I was 3 and have 21 years of hands on experience as a radio presenter and interviewer. I am completely conformable using digital editing software to edit voice tracks as well as more complex multi-track mixes. I have daily access to a fully equipped studio at North Country Public Radio. I also own a digital stereo/4-track hand held recorder for field use and a studio quality digital iRig microphone that plugs into an iPhone or iPad. I am comfortable talking authoritatively about a wide range of subjects: the arts, the media, foreign affairs, science, the military, and defense contracting. I am a four-year veteran of the US Army and I worked as a defense contractor in the Balkans for two years. I also spent three years with the US Foreign Service in Washington, DC and in Honduras.
