My Voice Experience

Remember the teacher who made a difference in your life? For me it was my high school debate teacher, Mrs. Scott. She told me that I have a quality radio voice. Since then speaking to people seemed to come easy for me. I like to have fun, and audiences pick up on that as well. When they do, they're more receptive to the message.

Currently I work as a Battalion Chief with the fire department, and I have started to announce rodeos within the Midwest. I recently completed voice work on a safety video for a Fortune 500 company, and provide the narration to the power point of the history of the Kansas City, MO Fire Department.

My Training

The biggest training I've had is using the radio every work day, as I analyze emergency scenes and process the information for mitigation. My voice is heard by over 1000 firefighters, and numerous media outlets in the metropolitan KC area. I've received training as a Public Information Officer, and I was also a member of Toastmaster's International. In school, I was a member of the debate team and focused most of my work on radio news broadcasting.

Additional Skills

As a member of the fire service, I specialize in risk management and incident command. My radio transmissions must be calm and concise.

As a rodeo announcer, my job is to act as the play by play announcer for the action taking place in the arena. I also focus attention on other contract acts working the rodeo with me, while offering great banter and straight lines to rodeo clowns and bullfighters. My job announcing is to take the audience on a constant wave-ride of emotion. From the heart-felt pride of Old Glory, to jokes and highlighting sponsors, to covering serious injuries that can take place, announcing is never dull.
