OK, now with all the marketing stuff out of the way, let me tell you exactly what you get when you hire me...
I'm a performer that is easy-going and fun to work with, but that doesn't mean you sacrifice professionalism. I've made my living with my voice, so I know how to get the job done right and not waste your time or mine. I'm extremely comfortable in the studio and in front of the mic. I show up for the job ready to produce, just like you do.

I can produce high-quality recordings for those outside of the Albany, NY area with about a 48 hour turnaround. Beginning approximately November 1, 2004, I will have access to a state-of-the-art digital recording studio, which is still under construction.

Along with my background in professional voice work, I have also acted in many local theater presentations and was recently part of a playwriting team for an Albany, NY theater troupe. I will be a co-producer of that up coming performance. I am also developing a one-man show, utilizing some of my favorite characters from my voice over career. (Tickets will be available here when the tour comes to your town!) I have also played the drums professionally for seven years, traveling internationally in a rock band.

I'm not a rookie in the voice over business. And I'm not as polished as some who've been around forever. But if you want the job done right, you need to use me.
I hope to hear from you soon!
