I once scripted and did the voice over work for "Wetlands", an adult novelty store in Amelia, OH which was very comedic and fun. I've also done an onhold music message for Willis Music Co. in Florence, KY In 1991 I graduated from the School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati, OH where I studied drama, instrumental music, and voice. I performed in the school's musical theater project and toured the U.S. in a production of "Oliver Twist" where I portrayed three different characters. I also appeared in a production of Fellini's musical "NINE" in New York. My overall voice training comes from my near twenty years of live performance as an actor and musician. I was greatly influenced by movie trailer voice over work and radio personalities such as Don Lafontaine, who was a huge influence on my desire to do movie trailers. I've also taken many cues from old radio programs such as Night Beat, The Green Hornet, The Great Gildersleeve, and so on. In addition to immitating characters from these great shows I was influenced to create my own characters. Being a musician I've done several radio interviews and have been told I have a great "radio voice".
