As the narrator for the Turner South Network series YOKEL, I perfected the "good ol' boy" southern accent. Also "surfer dude", "Old Guy", "redneck" and "uber snob". Not a bad "Santa" either. :)

In my 17 years of experience, I have been to space and all the way back down to the "Redneck Olympics". I provided the narrative for an interactive tour of the International Space Station that was given to Congress by NASA, in an effort to increase funding. However, a little "down home" fun can be a good thing. I was the narrative voice of "Grandpa Yokel" for Turner South Network's "Yokel" tv series. We were lucky enough to win a regional Emmy for Best Special Event Program. Scattered around between these extreme opposite jobs, I have done work for: -Promo and Sizzle Reels for HGTV -Radio spots for McDonald's throughout the southeast -Voice of "DIY Basics" on DIY Network -Promotional spots for PBS -Promo spot for Nascar (New Hampshire Speedway) -Short features for GAC Network -Features for the jumbotron at The University Of Tennessee stadium. -Voice of Stryker Orthopedics Infomercials. -Pay Per View promos for the Sturgis Cycle Rally. -Pitch work for several national cable TV production companies. -The Great Smoky Mtns. Visitor's Channel -Intros for the "Dirt Poor Comedy Tour" DVD release. -Industrial training narration for numerous industries -Virtual tour of Chattanooga -Radio commercials in Knoxville, Tennessee -Cable TV commercials in Knoxville, Tennessee I got into voice over work in my high school broadcasting class and hosted my own radio show. After high school, I worked part time in radio, while touring around the east coast in an original rock band. After several years, I decided to plant roots and concentrate on broadcasting and voice work. Since that time, I have worked consistently in voice overs. I still play music, but only for my enjoyment. My true passion is voice over work and production. -Neumann TLM 103 Mic -Isolation Booth -DBX 286A Mic Preamp and Processor -M-Audio sound card -Cool Edit Pro II Recording Software -Yamaha MG Mixing Console I am a full time voice talent with my own studio. I provide excellent quality audio and very fast turn around.
