Voice
I have a natural matter-of-fact, instructive tone that can be understated, calm, even avuncular. This helps me come across as precise, intelligent, serious.
But I can also be a wicked smart ass on the right occasion.
I’ve lived most of my life in Washington state, Oregon, and California. Western United States is my natural accent.
I also voice realistic or quirky characters.
I work from a dedicated VO studio and can easily connect with you for remote collaboration through Source-Connect, IPDL, Zoom or Skype.
Sample characters
Through VoiceTrax, I’ve had the fortune to study with great actors and teachers such as
- Peter Coyote
- Brian Summer

- Jim Edgar
- Karen Strassman

Recent Work
This is my story.
Once upon a time, at the start of the 21st century, I remarried, became a stepparent to three boys, and started a weekly newspaper–all at the same time. This despite having never owned a business, worked on a newspaper, taken a journalism class, sold advertising, or been a parent.
Almost overnight, I became a self-employed working parent with bad business timing. And things got worse.
Soon, the Wall St. tech bubble burst, the 9/11 attacks exploded, and the country slid into recession and then war. Media outlets started receiving envelopes of anthrax in their mail. The internet revolution began to obliterate the newspaper industry. At home, my new wife and two of my step-sons developed life-threatening illnesses.
Somehow, with the help of family, friends, and a little humor, I eventually found my way through this attempt at making a small fortune.
