Being based in Las Vegas means I'm right in the middle of the live-event world, but what really sets me apart is that I've spent more than 30 years as a performer, stage manager and show caller. I understand — and thrive under — the pressure of a live show. I know how important timing is and what it means when every cue matters and there are no second takes.

That experience is a big part of the way I work behind the microphone. As a voice actor, I work across commercials, corporate and web videos, narration, Live Announce and Voice of God. Whatever I'm voicing, I'm not just reading a script — I understand what the project needs and the audience I'm talking to.

My career actually started as a professional dancer, then moved into live-event production and, today, behind the microphone. It's all connected. Performance, timing, reading the room, working with a team — it's what I've been doing my entire career, just from different sides of the show.
