My Voice Experience

Past experience includes radio commercial work for La Famiglia Restaurnt, TV/radio commericals for Rochester Colonial WIndows and Doors and the voice of Dracula in PUSH Physical Theatre's Dracula. While my VO experience may be limited my theatrical experience and talent is not.

Additional Skills

I've always liked to be involved in many things professionally and personally and rise to leadership levels in all I do. Prior to my move to LA a year ago, while back in my hometown of Rochester, NY for a four year stint, I started a theatre company that was quickly scooped up under the support of Geva, our major regional theatre. During that time I was also acting with other theatre companies, managing a restaurant and bar tending at another venue. I've always been known as a Renaissance man. I live my life and do everything to it's fullest. You'll meet few others that are as dedicated and as driven as I am. For many years I've been "the 'go to' actor" for staged readings due to my powerful voice and ability to quickly make a script come alive with bold choices and the emotional readiness to back them up.
