I can perform various characters including pirates (all kinds including a pretty good Barbossa-esque scalawag), a Russian spy, dusty old prospector, aloof German artist, and a Gollum-like creature. I'm much stronger with character voices and accents but I can do some pretty solid impressions. These include but aren't limited to Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mickey Mouse, Barack Obama, Captain Barbossa (Pirates of the Caribbean) and Moss (from The IT Crowd), John F. Kennedy, George W. Bush.

I've worked in on the air in radio and recorded voiceovers for years. I currently am the Production Director and host the afternoon show (3pm-7pm) at an FM Christian Music radio station in Tampa, FL and I love it! I’ve been involved in audio production since I was a teenager, learning Pro Tools on a simple audio interface connected to my home computer. My interest in the field stuck and I eventually pursued a career in radio. The station I’ve worked for since 2011 is an FM Christian Music station in Tampa, FL. I start my average workday between 11am and 11:30am and go on the air at 3pm. I do have soundproof, state-of-the-art studios at my disposal but I record my VO projects at home using the following gear: Shure SM7B Microphone, Tascam USB audio interface, and Adobe Audition CC. I also have an acoustically treated room in an isolated part of my home specifically dedicated to recording. Working as part of small staff at a major market FM radio station, I've had to employ a large variety of skills like social media marketing, website management including minor coding, audio editing and production, video recording and production, photography, comedy writing (for on-air bits and such), and (of course) voiceover work.
