Italian, Spanish, Irish, English (British), German, Russian, Australian, Florida cracker. Imitations of: Jack Nicholson, Jimmy Stewart, Boris Karloff, Charlton Heston, Sean Connery, Bill Clinton, Andy Rooney, Christopher Walken, Tom Brokaw. I will attempt any request as well.

The first job as a voice actor I'd ever booked was for the: New York Lotto, I played the part of a garbage man, finding treasures in the trash. I played the part of "Owen Luckett" in an ongoing, radio soap, comedy down in Florida. Every-time he day-dreamed, he'd become another character (sometimes an animal). I also really enjoy performing a number of cartoon voices, which just may be my favorite. I can do a pretty good G.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Homer Simpson d'oh! Captain Jack Sparrow, and I will always feel comfortable doing many dialects. I began my training in Miami with Joe Adler, then he sent me to Boston to work with Dolly Springer. After some success in Boston, I headed back to Florida and got involved with a video production company doing voiceovers for real-estate ventures. That began to get a bit boring until I landed the radio soap in Naples. I booked a number of on-camera, network national spots for Texaco, Ford, Sears, Trane, various PSAs, Motrin...etc. But, my heart is with voice acting. I have an i-MAC 5.1 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7, three external hardrives. I have a great booth with all types of sound FX. I also have access to a great full-service studio. My mic: Blue Yeti, Shure SM 58. I'm a perfectionist and I've produced my own work. I absolutely enjoy the freedom of the imagination, and I believe without a doubt that voiceover ads and productions are much more effective and enjoyable than anything visual, because they lend themselves to the imaginations of every listener, and I don't think that can be duplicated in any other media.
