I am a professional actor (SAG-AFTRA/AEA), hailing from the Windy City (neutral American accent included) with almost 40 years of training and experience in multiple mediums. My stage work has garnered numerous awards, including Stage Ovation, StageRaw, LA Weekly and Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle. With a knack for multi-character tracks and distinct character creation, my narration ranges from straightforward storytelling to wide ranging character voices and accents. I absolutely love bringing books to life, embodying the characters and pulling the listener along as their personal storyteller.

I also have years of experience with audio recording, mixing and sound design, allowing me to work quickly and produce high-quality recordings from my professional studio.
