Experience

With several decades of media experience, I am an experienced American male voice over and storytelling talent. I have been blessed with a voice that is natural, smooth, confident, conversational, and engaging, featuring warm, deep, and rich tones. This experience, along with top-notch coaching, has helped me develop my audio narration skills and styles, which are continually being perfected.

Whether it's a commercial, documentary video, or e-learning course, I utilize my storytelling talent and engaging personality to provide captivating audio narration that captures the attention and imagination of the audience. 


My voice over work reflects my interests in history, nature, culture, world events, politics, modern conflicts, and personal stories.

Accent Styles

 With my Middle American/Midwestern and gentle Southern accents, I bring a unique voice over style to my work. Additionally, I'm an avid reader and traveler, always seeking new experiences.


In my Life...


Cooking is a passion of mine, and I feel fortunate to have some culinary training, making it a favorite hobby. In my free time, I enjoy swimming as well. As an experienced journalist and published writer, I also possess storytelling talent that enhances my audio narration skills for various projects. 


When not immersed in my professional home studio, where I hone my audio narration skills, I enjoy reading, listening to Smooth Jazz music, walking, swimming, traveling, and cooking a delicious Salmon and Shrimp dinner in the kitchen with my lovely 'Angel Princess.' 


My storytelling talent often shines through in the voice over projects I work on during my downtime.
