For over 20 years, I have done voice and audio post-production for broadcast clients ranging from CNN and HGTV to Focus on the Family, In Touch Ministries, Chevrolet, AT&T and Cartoon Network. One highlight was voicing an Emmy-nominated three-minute feature to open the AFC Championship for CBS Sports, viewed by 53 million fans. Whether I'm delivering information clearly, punching your product in a promo or sitting on the sprawling veranda of a southern plantation calling for Belvedere, my beloved bloodhound, I've had a thrilling ride giving voice and personality to characters, campaigns and products on television and radio. I'd love the opportunity to bring something special to your next project. My formal education began as a Chemical Engineering major at Georgia Tech. (What the heck was I thinking?) I fell in love with music during my sophomore year and began my broadcast career as a television composer. One thing led to another and before long I was offering voice and effects work as part of my creative menu. I've never looked back. I eventually transferred from Tech to the Real World University's Hard Knox School of Broadcasting. My education there has been thorough and ongoing and I know how to knock out projects efficiently, on time and on budget. I have had the privilege of contributing to projects that have gone on to win Telly, Addy and Emmy awards. I work in Atlanta, NYC, LA, and London. I have a full commercial post studio with both Pro Tools and Logic platforms, numerous microphones (Neumann, Shure, AKG and others) and pre-amps (Neve, API, Avalon, Vintage Tube Pre) As well as mobile rigs with the same software and microphones. I can connect via Source Connect and phone patch. I'm built for efficiency and quick turn arounds. I've been married to the love of my life for 28 years and have three amazing adult kids. I have collected a number of interests and hobbies over the years including general aviation, sailing, fly fishing, investing, and theoretical physics.
