Native of Northern California. I can perform Midwestern or New York accents as well as British: from Cockney to BBC standard. Offer convincing German, French, or Asian accents in English. Speak completely fluent high German near-native caliber, and can also do Hessisch in German. Alternatively, can do, in German, American English, French, or Asian accents.

Have spoken before courtrooms and classrooms. Trained as a lawyer. Have lectured in American and German colleges. Before I returned to college myself I sold new and used cars for some years and was salesman of the month repeatedly. Once I bet the other salesmen I could conduct a convincing sales pitch all in British English -- and I did so. When I returned to university, my family regretted my moral decline from car salesman to lawyer. Was told a number of times I have a good "radio voice." I have a good singing voice, as well. I am now starting out with voiceovers. Taught 6 years for City Colleges of Chicago, European Programs Lectured 4 semester-hours for the University of Mainz, American Studies and Translation department Currently teach four courses for a German adult school and give technical seminars about computers to German children in German.

Speak German in the home. I have access to a professional recording studio in my town. I have simple equipment at home for quick work. Aside from teaching and my careers in law and in sales before that, I have worked as a finance manager; a college administrator (Director of Instructional Technology) supervising over 20 people; a computer programmer; and won a civilian Army contract to run an after-school computer lab for primary-school kids. Earlier avocational performance on stage was also extremely relevant.
