My voice-over career took off in the mid to late 80's doing national and regional spots for McDonalds, Western Ford Dealers and local and regional commercials for the Colorado Lottery, Fox Network, The Denver Post and Rocky Mountain News, Village Inn, and jingles with my award winning vocal group, "The 17th Avenue Allstars." for McDonalds and local businesses.
