Along with voice acting I've had the opportunity to gain numerous other skills. Some of my other life experience includes:
--Owning my own business, hiring and managing multiple employees;
--Raising two beautiful children;
--Working in a corporate environment; and
--Being a consumer in today's market.
I believe all of these things are often relevant to the voice projects that I'm presented with.
