My voice over and recording experience spans 21 years. Currently, I am the host of a Top 20 ranked iTunes podcast with over 20K listeners tuning in to hear me speak on THE MIEWS. I began my vocal recording and performance career in the early 1990's as a keyboardist and vocal harmony arranger/singer, creating demonstration recordings for Grammy-winning singers like Usher, BoyzIIMen, and many more. In addition to podcasting and producing songs, I am an educator and motivational speaker who has addressed audiences both large and small from corporate boardroom settings, to churches and higher learning institutions like, Kennesaw State University. I love to produce high quality audio recordings that are engaging, entertaining, educational, and creative. My training includes 21 years of audio production experience that includes: recording music, voice overs, commercials, and podcast shows. While my degree is in Civil Engineering, I have been working professionally in the audio production and entertainment media worlds since 1993. I have learned from some of the most successful voice over actors and recording professionals in the business, even spending several years managing the successful careers of working voice over actors like Jeff Rose (search him on IMDb).

I have worked with a number of major record labels including: Sony, Warner Brothers, Island-Def Jam, Atlantic Records, and many more. For 12 years, I worked as a civil engineer by day, while working as a record producer during nights and weekends. Today, I am the Music Editor of I Am Entertainment Media, an award-winning magazine publisher and broadcasting company reaching over 3 million people annually. I am also a coach, mentor and trainer to young basketball players ranging from age 7 to the collegiate level.
