I started my career as a Disc Jockey with a Top-40 show. I hosted live talk-show segments and read news, weather and ad copy on air, Off air I produced prerecorded commercials, PSAs, promos and news reports. I then moved into television as an on-camera reporter and as the host of several television shows and infomercials. I also voiced hundreds of commercials, PSAs and narrated documentaries.
After earning my M.F.A. from Florida State University's Film School, I became a professor of film, video and audio production and continued my voiceover work producing documentaries, narratives, websites, PSAs and voicing the university telephone system. I have created an extensive range of character voices and accents, and played character roles in film and video.
