My first real experimentation with character voice artistry began in fifth grade, when I "toured" the classroom Christmas party circuit with my Foster Brooks imitation. After earning a B.S. in Mass Communications, I worked afternoon drive at an AM station. It was here, as the only commercial producer, that I developed a full roster of vocal characterizations. Subsequent work at a video production company specializing in puppetry gave me further opportunities to stretch my vocal chords. I've been privileged to do character voice work for three Grammy-winning children's producers, as well as character and VO for several regional and national Emmy and Addy producers.
