I've done corporate ID pieces for dozens of Fortune 500 companies including Panasonic, IBM, Prudential, Nabisco etc. I have done over a thousand PSA and PR spots for every major industry, governmental agency, national non-profit and foundation. I have a commanding voice that gets attention and I'm good at what I do. I bring 25 years of experience to your Voice Over needs. I have a Master's Degree in Radio/TV/Film from the University of Wisconsin. I started doing on-air radio work as a student. I've studied voice over work with the likes of DAWS BUTLER - the original voice of Yogi Bear, Snagglepus, Quick Draw McGraw...etc. I've taken years of acting classes with well known teachers and coaches in LA and NY.

Recently I've put on a PRODUCER'S HAT and I'm producing educational videos and putting together presentations for PBS programming. I'm also finishing a re-write of a screenplay that takes a satirical look at the world of advertising, media and hype. I've got some major Hollywood players interested in the story. My motto is love what you do...do it well...and share it with other people. I am presently working with one of the top VOICE OVER COACHES in the country affectionately known as the "VOICE WHISPERER" who only works with the best of the best and the six and seven figure income range. I have my own home studio which includes a PRO TOOLS setup with an $800 microphone. I can record and deliver professional quality audio tracks.

I have over 25 years of experience in the VOICE OVER BUSINESS. I especially enjoy doing PROMOS and I like to refer to myself as "THE PROMO GUY." I have an intuitive sense of what kind of a read works with a built in sense of time. I understand the nature of the audience that you are trying to reach and what their different needs may be. I bring knowledge of craft, 25 years of experience and a rich deep baritone voice that commands attention.
