BIOGRAPHY
Improv & comedy is my background, but V/O is my business. Fish Sounds has been my full-time job since early 2015 and I couldn't be happier to voice day in and day out. I'm also the Artistic Director for Late Nights Minneapolis, the copy editor for The Hard Times, a joke writer for 30Watt, and an avid homebrewer and gardener. Minneapolis is my home, along with my lovely wife Abigail and our cats, Gigglepuss and Sassmouth.

CREDITS
SKILLS
| Improvisation/Sketch Comedy (2001 - present) | I've got 16 years of improv and comedy experience, starting as a performer and adding writing, production, and direction to my skill set. Through this, I've developed a fantastic ability to take and build on direction in the booth. |
| Acting (2002 - present) | My V/O career began as an actor, earning my Bachelor of Fine Arts from Pace University in New York, which is now the home to the Actor's Studio graduate program. Through this, I learned how to break down and connect with any script and to build individual characters for each project. |
| Audio Engineering (2012 - present) | As I developed my personal studio, I've worked to craft broadcast-quality audio from home with aid from the professional techs at Edge Studio and through WoVO. As a result, in 2017, I began recording national commercials from my home studio, broadcast across the U.S. and Canada. |
| Casting & Directing | In producing my own ongoing show in Late Nights Minneapolis, as well as working professionally as a director for the National Theatre for Children, I've developed a keen sense of what fellow actors and talent to seek to mesh best with the demands of any individual project. |
