My Voice Experience

As a production director, I worked directly with clients and the sales staff on orders, oversee commercial production, voice assignments, and copywriting.
After spending nearly 20 years in broadcasting, I started my own audio/video production company which I operated for 12 years. Customer relations was an integral part of the business, working one on one with clients to accommodate their individual needs for their projects, adding voiceovers to such projects as family narrations, industry demos, and of course, the ever popular radio spot.
Since it was a home based company, it enabled me to be there to raise my 3 children, and to take care of the household needs. Once the kids were grown, I returned to voiceover work.

Additional Skills

In addition to all the years in production, I am a skilled bartender, which comes in quite handy on those occasions where take 54 still isn't the right one.

I was also a house husband in the raising of my three children, which taught me the skills of organization, deadlines, and more than likely led to the skilled bartender thing.
