I'm a successful standup comedian (Improv, Gotham NYC, Purple Onion, BBC) who uses character voices on stage, so I have a studied sense of comedic and dramatic timing. I've done voice over work for product commercials (Meth Coffee) and narration for multimedia presentations (Cisco). I've also worked in radio as both a radio announcer (KKAM 1340 Fresno) and comedian (Pirate Cat 87.9 and FCC Free 107.3 in San Francisco, Rock 105 in Jacksonville).

Characters are a big part of my act -- I love inventing voices, especially comedic and melodramatic. I've also been a performance artist since 1992. My experimental work, which has focused on experimental monologues and made-up characters, has appeared at venues like the L.A. Performance Arts Center, MOCA, HIGHWAYS, and the University of California. I'm also a strong writer. If your script needs punching up, I can help. I have a B.A. in English, a respectable list of published articles, and I've written creative copy for Fortune 500 companies like Cisco.
