I voiced the "Groundskeeper" on My little Pony. Recently I've done commercials for "Shoulder Buddies", "Classic Rock CFNR" radio station , The "Halo Effect" with The DVI Group and "Lucina AX-09" with Roland USA. I have started work in Voiceover acting a completely unique acting experience and I love it. I have trained with voicing coaches Bob Burgen, James Alburger, Deb Munro and Pat Fraley. With their training and guidance I became inspired to become a voiceover artist. My first job was for Edmonton's "West Edmonton Mall" which was used on all major radio stations in Edmonton and announced every half hour at the mall. Once I heard myself everywhere I was hooked. Later I played a young boy named Dylan on a series called "Buddy and Max". That series introduced me to Deb Munro who suggested I audition for a podcast called "Silent Universe". I landed the role of Isaac Walker, the rough and tough but kicking leader of a group of rebel mercenary's check it out @.
