I'm at avid sports fan and an active player - baseball, football, basketball, and golf are my favorite sports to watch and play, but I also possess a comprehensive understanding of tennis, boxing, horse racing, and NASCAR. I'm especially keen on science and keep current on major science periodicals like Popular Science and Discovery Magazine. I've developed a true appreciation of Sci-Fi writers like Kurt Vonnegut, Philip K. Dick, and Isaac Asimov. I love video games and gaming. I own a PS3, Xbox, and all the Nintendo consoles from the company's inception. My favorite games are Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Civilization, and the Warcraft Series. Popular culture and celebrity gossip are one of my guilty pleasures, especially because I'm also a comedy writer and regularly perform in comedy sketches of a topical nature. Politics have been ingrained in my life from an early age from my father who was a history teacher. I watch the news, the fake news, and comedy news shows. I perform in comedy sketches as news anchors. I have a great voice for the news. Simply said, my knowledge on varied topics allows me to add truth and believability to my voice over work.
