I have recorded in studio's all over beautiful southern California and now at my home studio based in San Diego, California. I have recorded everything from messages on hold, to radio & tv commercials, online media, computer animation, animated and digital short films but most of all, video games. I have recorded approximately 100 titles and I average about 5 voices per game. I also enjoy giving presentations to local schools on "what it is to be a voice actor".
