When you hire me, you will have my full focus and attention. No matter the size of your budget, you can count on my best work. I studied extensively with a superb Voice Over Artist, Producer and record-setting Clio Award Winner, to prepare me for a career in VoiceOver. After Graduating from U of Western Ontario (B.A. Eng Lit), I worked up the ladder at a Canadian Corporate chain to Managing Sales Regions and Key Accounts in Eastern Canada. I became McDonald's 1st Franchisee in Southeastern Ontario and grew to 5 units. Whenever I had the opportunity I would voice radio ads for my own businesses, emphasising our commitment to community involvement. This is where my dream of doing VoiceOver took hold. I moved to Aspen, Colorado and acquired a top-ten Fine Dining Bistro. We doubled sales and cash flow in 2 years. After 8 years, I sold the Bistro to my GM and Chef and returned to Toronto. Then, back in Toronto, I began a Consulting practice and produced hundreds of B2B Podcasts. It was time to re-engage with my V/O guru and his talented team of Coaches. Competing for voiceover wins is not for the weak. It takes talent, stamina and the ability to take a hit. I think of this as my 4th Act. It's time to raise the curtain.
