Additional Skills

My primary work is centered around the design of telecommunication systems, where I found there was a need for voice-over work immediately.

I have been fortunate to be exposed to various cultures both within the USA and abroad. These experiences, in addtion to my interest in people and culture, means I am careful to work with you to determine "What" you are wanting to convey is just as important as "How" you say it.

As a theatrical director and playwright, and songwriter I know that the message you are trying to convey is not complete unless there is understanding. As a business process designer with marketing experience I understand that your main objective is to get people to take a specific action.

This is what sets me apart from others, I take the time upfront to get clear on what you want to convey and incorporate that spirit into every message.
