I have over 25 years experience in the business. I started at the tender age of 19 when I was hired to be a disc jockey for a country station in Petal, Mississippi. I went on to become one of the top traffic announcers in Houston while putting myself through school for an anthropology degree. I left that career and quickly became a museum professional, working as an educator and exhibit developer and my voice work for museums and documentaries has been featured as part of major exhibits for Houston's top three museums: the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, the Holocaust Museum. I voice corporate product launches, including international Tier One launches of major oil and gas service company technologies. I also voice a number of internal training programs for ethics and compliance, disaster response, personal protective equipment training, HR training, sales training, administrative training. My voice has been used in a number of radio commercials both as a straight announcer and as a character actor. My audiobook narration for "Mossy Creek" is available on Audible and has received very positive reviews (and not just from my friends and my parents who think I'm a genius, but they're supposed to think that...) BS in Anthropology from University of Houston Multiple graduate hours in Anthropology, History Voice training includes multiple private sessions with coaches as well as seminars with Bettye Zoller, Jim Conlan. School of hard knocks: Radio, traffic announcing! Basic, clean home studio set up with Mac, MobilePre, RODE=NT1-A mic (Basic, but nice sound) I've got personal relationships with two very fine studios in town that have ISDN and phone patch capabilities, so I'm able to record whatever is needed. The studios do charge me, so that has to be included in my pricing, if needed. I am also a communication and marketing consultant, working with firms to create their messaging. I write scripts for industrial animations, museum exhibits, and training pieces. I am ideal as a documentary / exhibit / teaching /training voice because of my breadth of experience within these fields. I understand why the project was written and the intent behind the message. I have two other careers: My "day job" is as a consultant for a multimedia firm that serves oil and gas and medical. I'm very knowledgeable about technology and medicine and am usually the lead account manager because of my skills and knowledge. I also am a contract museum exhibit content consultant. I have over 18 years of experience working with museums, including a 5-year stint as a museum educator in a science museum. Professional museum projects include development of the exhibits for the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, wrote the commemorative history of the Houston Branch, developed their exhibits. Writer, developer of Shell Exploration and Production exhibit in Rijswijk, Netherlands; Genetics for Museum of Health and Medicine, Houston, and many others.
