I'm Max. I'm a Voice Over Performer and Event Host/Emcee living in the Seattle area. I've spent the better part of my life training to perform on stage, both solo and alongside other talent, and I love creating a finely curated, highly enjoyable and engaging experience for an audience. I organize entertaining commentary, coordinate with onstage talent, and assist in fundraising efforts for charitable organizations. I read donations from viewers, review them for content, and help ensure the right messages reach the right donors. I’ve helped raise over $2 million per biannual event, and I continue to grow and entertain across streams and live events.
