While working as a lighting technician, I was often called-upon to make intermission announcements and welcome patrons to our presentations. One night, a local radio station manager happened to be in the audience and I was offered a job at the local AM/FM station where an experienced deejay helped me learn the basics.
Since that time, I have voiced commercials, Answering Services, Internet Video and Informational Videos for multiple state agencies.
I have also worked, full-time, as an Aviation Safety Trainer, delivering both lecture and hands-on training to Aviation professionals.
Currently, I'm composing and executing radio and internet commercials (both of which include copy development).
I am a former deejay for 1230am WENY and 92.7fm WLEZ, with experience in voiceover, voice-mail, phone-systems, and narration.
Most recently, I have done voice over work for Atlantic County, New Jersey and ScaVet Technologies.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University: BS in Aeronautical Science, minor in Aviation Safety. Graduated in 1995.
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University: MAS in Aeronautical Science, Aviation Safety & Accident Investigation. Graduated in 1997.
I am a pilot, and hold Commercial, Airplane-Single and Multi-Engine Land ratings, along with high-performance and high-altitude signoffs.
As for radio/voice over experience, I've worked with some tremendous talents over the past 18 years, and I've had the opportunity to work with old-format radio equipment, prior to the introduction of compact discs. I have had some voice coaching, as well as a sink-or-swim radio show in the early 90s as i was just starting out.

Often, I am called upon to read technical information aloud to large audiences. This information is often highly specialized, with complex terminology and unusual pronunciations- particularly in the field of aviation.
Examples of the fields in which i have intimate familiarity with terminology include: Aviation, motorcycles, automotive, chemistry, woodworking, home improvement, and physics/astronomy/technology.
I can provide everything from raw voiceovers to finished productions, both with and without back ground music, sound effects, and jingles.
