My Voice Experience

-10 p.m.-Midnight, Sundays, Producer and Voice Talent of "Taco Radio" on WBRY 1640 a.m., Miami Shores, the Barry University radio station

-1992-2002: I was producer and voice talent of my own heavy metal public access radio program called "Taco Radio" on WEBR Cable FM (actual air checks are available on cassettes) in Merrifield, VA. While putting myself through college I was a taco maker at a local Fairfax, VA Mexican food restaurant. That is where the name "Taco" came from and that is where my audience for Taco Radio came from--my Taco Nite customers.

-1989-2002: Member Fairfax Cable Access Corporation: Volunteer TV Producer and Talent. In my time at FCAC I learned cameras, lights, and audio production. I most frequently appeared on a comedy program called the "Nooz" but was often recruited for voice overs and audio engineering. On three occasions I hosted "Taco Radio: Live from Carlos O'Kelly's" where I made tacos at the same time as i did my radio show. I also had the opportunity to be one of the hosts of a 12 hour live telethon for the Barry Cuffey C3 Foundation, an event that raised money for people who suffer from spinal cord injuries similar to that of the late Christopher Reeves.

1989-2004: Wedding DJ and Karaoke Host: My first job out of the CSB was a mobile DJ company. From there I bought my own gear and did my own gigs. In St. Thomas I was a back-up Karaoke host at the Renaissance Grand Beach Resort in Smith Bay where I would break-dance for the audience during the song by Young MC "Bust A Move".

-1989: I graduated from the Columbia School of Broadcasting in Baileys Crossroads, VA with a certification Radio Announcing/Voice Talent.

-2000-Present: Presentation Services Audio Visual ("PSAV") the in house Audio Visual Services provider for upscale hotels worlwide. Assignments include the Omni Shoreham, Washington D.C., the Sheraton Premiere Tysons Corner, VA, the Arlington Hilton & Towers, Arlington, VA, the Marriot Frenchmans Reef, St. Thomas, USVI, Weston, St. John, USVI, Conrad Miami, Miami, FL, Doral Golf Resort & Spa, Doral, FL, where I am the Event Technology Producer. I am able to use my ringside announcing voice during my sound checks, and for this reason I have been asked to be the voice of the Doral's Voice Mail system, beginning with the Systems Department of the hotel.
