My Voice Experience

Originally from Idaho, I traded potatoes for palm trees and moved to Los Angeles to hone my craft. As a professional actor and voice-over artist, I have over 15 years of experience. My commercial and voice-over work includes such companies as American Express, Honda, Micron, Hewlett Packard, Albertson's, Southwest Airlines, Aim International, and the Read to Me: National Literacy Campaign. With my small town sensibility and and an honest folksy feel, my voice resonates a tone as familiar and all-American as apple pie.
