I am a narrator with a checkered past.
I was an opera singer for 15 years, then a finance professional for 25 years. My success in those disparate careers required a foundation of knowledge and mastery: musical, acting and foreign language proficiency for opera; quantitative, logical and rhetorical skills for finance. And whether the story I told was emotional, rational or something in-between, I used my voice to inform, entertain and inspire. Those same goals motivate my work as a voice actor.
Out of the booth, I am a community volunteer and a student of woodworking.
