Since 2004, I've performed around three-quarter of a million voice-overs, ranging from voicemail menus and ringtones, on-air commercial spots requiring multi-track recording and mixing, to online video and television.
I'm versatile on-mic, with solid pre and post-production skills, I run my own in-home studio, and feature quick turnaround without sacrificing high quality. I have access to many professional studios around the Twin Cities area, and am very mobile, allowing me to be on location for any job requirements.
My basic training is in radio broadcasting, with an Associate of Applied Sciences degree from Brown College in Mendota Heights Minnesota. From there I worked on-air and in commercial production at WEVE 97.9 FM in Eveleth, Minnesota.
I spent four years doing copy-writing and voice-overs for hundreds of auto dealerships around the country and have hundreds of make and model videos under my belt.
Also, I'm an amateur musician (electric bass and six-string guitar, keyboards and drums) and have performed with the Twin Cities contingent of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. I've played all the parts at some point in my time with the show, but mainly performed as Doctor Frank-n-Furter.

As an on-air DJ, I have a great deal of experience in live radio announcing, voice-tracking and live reads, such as traffic, weather alerts, news, and sports. Because of this, I can process different pieces of information from multiple sources in-studio and announce or discuss them intelligently and without stumbling, even when reading from multiple monitors, printed information, and in-ear audio.
In addition, I'm CompTIA A+ certified, with experience in client-server networking, computer support, troubleshooting, and maintenance. I'm familiar with Linux, MacOS and Windows platforms (including Windows Server 2012 R2), and have worked with equipment requiring knowledge of audio signal routing and configuration.
