Your Vision Is Important

Telling the story Your Way

As a narrator and voice actor, I believe that it is deeply important to be true to your creative intent.

This means that before even the first chapter title is recorded, I like to discuss how I can bring those characters to the listener in a way that presents the story in the most natural, authentic way - almost as if you yourself were narrating.

Crafting an audiobook is an author and narrator, working together, to create an experience for the listener that is not only immersive, but irresistable.

 

Highest Level of Quality

Professional Standards, Professional Results

An investment in world-class equipment means my work will stand up with the best.

Don't believe me? Ask Andy Serkis.

I use the same microphone that he did when recording 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Hobbit' audiobooks. If it's good enough for Tolkien, it's good enough for me.

My Story

Jumping out of the boat

I've been a creative maverick all my life. Growing up on a small homestead in the midwest, self-expression was the default - while we weren't exactly isolated, I had more time than the average kid to roam around in the woods, build forts, and write adventure stories in my head.

As soon as I completed high school, I started making movies and shooting stop-motion films. A few years later, I was traveling the country working in the camera department on ultra-low-budget independent films. I learned a lot about the world, and about acting, and about how (and why) stories are told.

Eventually, family life caught up with me, and career paths forked for a while. I settled down to be a dad. I learned how to be an IT nerd. I even spent a few years working for an Amish company. It was a nice, stable life.

...but eventually, the creative arts came calling again, and I could not resist its siren song.

I have no youthful dreams of being famous anymore, but I do believe that there are stories out there that I can tell better than anyone else might, and if you'll give me the opportunity to try, then I think we might do all right by each other.

I hope you enjoy these performances as much as I enjoyed giving them.
