**Authoritative. Versatile. Ready to roll.**
From broadcast promos and hard-hitting political spots to warm narration and characters you didn't know you needed, I bring a seasoned, director-friendly read to every session. Whether the script calls for a gravelly, no-nonsense authority or the approachable guy next door, I find the heartbeat of your copy and deliver on deadline — even when that deadline was ten minutes ago.
**Credits & Experience**
I've voiced national spots for Lotto 6/49, Sears, and Heritage for the Blind, narrated for Exxon and Audible-ACX, provided lines for McGraw Hill videos, and delivered broadcast promos and tags. I've voiced spots for financial institutions, including Sunward Bank and Visions Federal Credit Union. I was the voice of Gossip Brigade's nationally syndicated "Celebrity Intel Briefing Minute" on CRN Digital Talk Radio, portraying a gritty drill sergeant delivering celebrity news — equal parts commanding and endearing. I'm also the voice of the politics and culture podcast "14th & G" and voiced introductions and outros for both seasons of the "Employee Buzz" podcast.
Before stepping behind the mic full time, I spent several years working for award-winning actor William Shatner and hosted "The Wise Guys Sit-Down Hour," a true crime radio show and podcast. I know how productions run from every angle.
**What I Do Best**
Political ads are a particular sweet spot — whether it's the warm, neighborly read that wins hearts or the deep, ominous tone that makes voters think twice. I'm equally at home with commercial reads, e-learning, long-form narration, promos, trailers, and live announcer work, from Voice of God to monster-truck reads.
My training includes commercial coaching with Jesse Carroll and Cricket Davis, and promo work with Joe Cipriano and Marc Graue.
I'm based in Los Angeles and very open to recording in-studio with you if you're in the area!
