My career began as an actor working on the stage for 20+ years. During my early days in theater, I was invited to do some commercials at a local radio station. I enjoyed the experience and continued to work at it "on the side", while trodding the boards at night.
Years later, when I met my wife's voice teacher, she sat me down and insisted that I should immediately start looking for work in the voiceover industry. I consider this the moment when my real career in voiceovers began. I spent time honing my skills and booked my first commercial gig shortly thereafter.
I have spent much of the last decade in front of the microphone, doing everything from commercials, web sites, and industrials, to narration for awards shows. In recent years I've carved a niche in the pharmaceutical industry, doing everything from pharma commercials to sales rep demos, to interactive projects targeting healthcare professionals.

Having been on both sides of the microphone, camera, and stage, I take direction extremely well. I can give you the take you're looking for. In the studio, I can deliver in few takes, often on the first, and can shave off that .5 seconds to fit your project's needs.
I have worked as an actor for many years; narrative is literally what I live for, and I can create characters that your audience will remember.
I have also worked for years as a writer, both on the commercial end and in the pharmaceutical advertising industry, and am able to assist with any adjustments or creation of copy that might be needed on your project.
