I come from a family devoted to "reading aloud" for enjoyment. I was always listening to sound and music and realized the power of both. I became very much aware of the wonderful voice I had inherited and enjoyed using it . Fascinated with sound engineering and recording I spent much time during college years at radio stations. I taught radio and television production at the college level at Cornell and American Universities. I learned the craft and honed my skills by doing.
