I spent a little over two decades working in radio back in the 80's and 90's, mostly in commercial production. That honed my skills in writing and performance, and soon I realized that I loved creative story telling, and what good scripting and voiceover can do to deliver a message. In the early 2000's, I became an independent voiceover talent, and have never looked back. I'm so fortunate to do this work, and have been part of thousands of projects in eLearning, Commercial, Corporate, Explainer/Whiteboard videos and audiobooks. I've worked on both sides of the mic, and take direction well. The stated "day rate" is negotiable and based on the project & distribution.
