“Cool, confident swagger...”
I’m funny, quirky, passionate, and a huge nerd. But, I also have a darker edge. I’m fascinated by the strange and unusual. I’m a bit whacky, but in a lovable goofy kind of way. A jester, a harlequin, a Mad Hatter, unafraid to put myself in the crosshairs of humility! I’m curious and utterly obsessed with learning new things. I love books, games, movies, and TOYS! I still have the imagination of a child and am deeply inspired by the creativity of others. Above all, I care. I’m humble. I’m considerate. I love with all of my heart and I want to make the world a better place with my chosen forms of art. Even if that just means making someone smile every now and again.
Passions and Areas of Expertise
TOYS! Video and Tabletop Games, Music Composition and Scoring, Piano, Guitar and Bass, 80’s Pop Culture, Action! Movies, Star Wars (I’m the person you want on your SW Trivia team), cartoons from the 70’s, 80’s, 90’s, Sculpting, LEGOs, Synthesizers (this was my first passion in life after books and movies and I have a VAST knowledge of vintage synths), Film (especially 70’s, 80’s and 90’s studio and Indy work), and of course, my two pups Max & Seamus, the stars of my animated series Wiener & Wolfhound. Also a screenwriter with several pilots and spec scripts under my belt. Interested in a super cool adult style animation with snappy dialogue and quirky characters? Ask me for a copy of my pilot script Uncle & Nephew! It’s received rave reviews so far.

Education
I studied Digital Production at the International Academy of Design & Technology and became an Audio Engineer, Video Editor, and Motion Graphics Designer. I worked in several large studios before landing a permanent gig with Anthony Sullivan, the well known infomercial and OxiClean pitch man. I had dabbled in the world of VO for many years, always a side gig for extra money until 2010 when it started becoming a more permanent fixture in my life. I found the world of audiobooks in 2015 and in February of 2017 was able to make that my full time gig.
