Attended Berkley School of Music, Classes in full audio production held at Full Sail production, Florida, worked as an Intern for 4 years at WPLR radio New Haven where I got hands on training in doing Cart tapes and Voice Overs in FM Broadcast, then went on to WTNH T.V. and work on the Sally Jesse Rafael Show doing voice over introductions and spots for Commercials during the show for our sponsors. I went door to door in some cases selling air time to help promote the show.
I then did 3 national tours playing professionally as a musician and recording in world class studio environments. I now own a full video and audio production studio where I do all my work out of with great Master quality results ready for air play.

Besides audio I have done a lot of Video work with Commercials so I believe that if you know how it suppose to look then you can hear it, if you hear it you can see it, I mean the math is simple they go together, but when they cannot in the case of voice over, it really helps to make a convincing Voice over when you can picture what you are talking about.
When I talk, I picture everything as I do it and as a musician I can feel for the timing of it so I know exactly where to put the accent on the word to deliver the message or the punch at the right spot and at the right level of impact is so important in Voice over, more so then Video because you have no visual help but you must create one in the use of your Voice and to do so you have to be good at what you do.
You must convince and help someone see the voice as a visual in their head, which really helps sell the idea or the product, it's what you are trying to get across..Got to feel it, got to see it to be able to deliver it and hear it! thats my job and thats exactly what I do to get your information or product out to the ears of the public, convince everyone that they are hearing it but seeing it in their head and thoughts at the same time.
