I've worked for a long list of clients & on many projects over the years, among them:
The Nutty Professor, Disney, VH1's "Ill-ustrated" mature-audiences-cartoon series, Wyndam Hotels, Viejas, Platt College, Stingaree, Kids' Educational CD series ( I was Elba the electric eel among many others).
I am a regular for "Learning Upgrade" which is an interactive dvd tutorial for kids ages kindergarten through high school as well as for adults getting their GED, commercials & narration for MANY non-profit & local companies, Radio IDs for stations all over the world, etc.
I graduated Valedictorian from USIU w/ a BFA in Theatre. My acting training has been a huge help in teaching me how to invest 100% into whatever character I'm playing. I took a few VO workshops in LA but found the best experience came from actually working.
I've released several CDs on my own label, Say It Records, and love the Voice Over work I've been blessed to do over the years.
I write music for any project I'm commissioned for, record it with my business partner, Alicia Champion, who is an outstanding writer/producer/engineer, and we record in our studio, Durga Sound (Protools, HD).
Alicia & I are also the creators/producers of San Diego IndieFest, which is an all-ages, yearly music, film, arts & activism festival that works to inspire people to not only discover amazing new independent artists, but also to discover their OWN voices & talents, helping make their communities better, more diverse & vibrant places to live.

Besides the VO work I do, I am a full time musician, writing & producing in all styles, using either MIDI or live musicians based on the clients' desires.
We write copy, do artwork & design, produce several artists, a huge yearly festival, and are passionate community activists who believe in diversity, personal responsibility, art and making the world a better place one day at a time.
My Father is a legendary Sportsfishing Captain, my Mother built the world's first Green, LEED-certified Marina, my siblings are brilliant activists & environmentalists, and I try to do my part, as well ;).
Other jobs I've had: Actor, Vox Teacher, Model, Translator, Tutor
