Fell into voiceover the way one falls into love: looking for something else and then BAM, that something else winds up leading you to your love. My passion is production and now, voice work. I've since voiced hundreds of commercials and promos for CBS Radio in Chicago since 2005. Bachelor of Arts in Audio Arts & Acoustics from Columbia College Chicago. Included in my studies was radio production. ProTools 7.4.2 through a Digi 002 on a MacBook Pro, Shure, AKG, and Oktava microphones, JBL near-fields, ADCOM power amp I'm extremely proficient at sound engineering, as that was the crux of my education and is my first love. I'm also very adept at radio production, as I was a production director in Chicago. This included, of course, voice work as well as obtaining good takes from other voice talent, so I can direct as well. In my capacity as a production director, it was also my charge to write scripts and produce beds and effects.
