My Voice Experience

I'm a stand-up comedian who also runs a small local ad agency providing everything from on hold and auto attendant service to radio and TV production for local clients in Southeast Minnesota.

I did 15 years in radio - spots, news, and talk hosting, and I still do news and hosting on a part time basis.

I've done internet radio imaging for a couple dozen stations...

I've done audio books from serious to silly.

I've worked on several projects with The Indian animation company "Future Thought" including character development and song parodies.

And I've done numerous radio appearances via phone across the country as an impersonator as well as doing some recurring character features...I love having fun with all my radio pals!
