"You have been given a gift of natural and effective communication[...]. You have a commanding voice and a commanding presence."
— John Piper, bestselling author and Pastor for Preaching and Vision, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, MN
http://vimeo.com/10708977 <-- A sermon I delivered to Bethlehem College & Seminary in April 2010.
One of the highlights of using my voice came when I would publicly read Scripture passages at my church. During one of these events, the wife of one of our elders — who was failing in her battle against cancer — leaned to the person next to her and said, "Who is that? His reading is such a comfort to me!" She passed on shortly after this, but it has comforted me knowing that my sense of drama and natural delivery could be a source of inspiration for someone like her. This was a pivotal moment in my decision to use my voice for the benefit of others.

I've worked at an Apple retail store for five years, teaching people how to use GarageBand and the concepts behind audio engineering.
My goal is to find the right type of drama (be it serious, comedic, nostalgic, or cuh-razy!) that your project deserves.
I am very skilled with Apple computers, GarageBand and Audacity being my forté. I am also knowledgeable in Finale music notation. I can compose music as well as do voice work.
