Writer . Producer . Consultant . Talent
All aspects of my work are about story-telling. Whether appearing on stage or in film, performing a full-length audiobook, developing a marketing strategy, or writing, producing, and voicing a communications project, my work is driven by language and story. If you’re invested in telling your story - why you do what you do - I’m interested in you.
I’m interested in truth and real life, in genuine people who have passion, intelligence, ambition, and commitment. If you have a combination of enthusiasm, professionalism, and drive - I’m interested in you.
I don’t come from a commercial radio background, so my audio productions aren’t overly processed. I’m far more interested in long-term projects than in one-shot gigs. And I’m not a flaky, head-in-the-clouds artiste who is difficult to work with, or self-consciously hip and trendy and shocked that you don’t know the pop culture reference of the moment. If you’re genuine, a collaborator, an innovator, a person who combines passion with thoughtfulness - I’m interested in you.
