I am a classically trained actor of significant voice, stage and public speaking experience. I am an excellent cold-reader, and have the skill set to break down even the densest of copy and read it clearly and authoritatively.

I regularly record spots as the current voice of futures trader Lind-Waldock, with my first spot appearing in the spring of 2010.

I have also recorded introductions to live events, narrations for the theater, a guided iPhone tour of Paris, as well as a host of sketch comedy projects.
