Highlights

I'm known as The Mic Guy for good reason -- behind the microphone, I deliver a natural, engaging, "real guy" sound. You might cast me as your friendly neighbor next door, your goofy big brother, your befuddled dad, your blustery boss, your compassionate doctor or pharmacist, or your knowledgeable banker, Realtor, or broker. You'll hear a genuine warmth and intelligence in my sound, as well as a sense of humor than ranges from wry and dry to razor-sharp.

Experience

In addition to my voiceover background, I bring more than two decades of public speaking, teaching, and training experience to your project.

Thanks to 12 years in the health care field, I'm a quick study with medical and technical terminology.

With more than 15 years of experience as a professional copywriter, including 10 years managing my own freelance practice, I have a sharp eye and ear for language. If you're struggling with your script, I can offer a suggestion or two that will help get your message across more effectively.
