The Story So Far...
Raised on a steady diet of television and radio, I would spend hours watching cartoons and game shows, often mimicking my favorite cartoon characters or practicing my "announcer voice" into a cassette recorder.
My earliest influences were Mel Blanc, Johnny Olson, Gary Owens, and Casey Kesem.
​
In college I was active at our college radio station WESS-FM, and after graduation worked at WZZO-FM, a classic rock station serving the Allentown/Bethlehem/Easton metro area (a top 100 market).
As an on-air personality, I also produced countless commercials for local and national businesses, as well as hosting live events at various bars, car dealerships, and grand openings. I also was the sidekick for "The Bearman & Keith" morning show, where I tried to to sneak in my celebrity impressions whenever possible.
I moved to Philadelphia in 1998 and worked as a bartender. The flexible schedule allowed me time to work on films that were being shot around the city as well as to host events, produce podcasts, and provide voices for animated shorts and other projects.
​
I have a good ear not only for voices, but also for inflection, accents, and patterns of speech that makes me a gifted mimic.
I also spot read copy with ease, and am available to do ring announcements for boxing, MMA, etc.
I really enjoy coming up with original voices for animated characters based on their appearance and I love working with artists and directors to fine tune the voices so that they are exactly what the creators have in mind.
Oh, and I also do ventriloquism. Puppets don't scare me.
