People have told me time and again that I have a "Mercedes" delivery - which I take to be a good thing. A broadcast exec once said I sounded like a cross between Charles Kuralt and Garrison Keillor. That's OK, too, even if the comparison is only half right!

Clients have said they like my voice because it showcases their message without showing itself off - and doesn't sound like an announcer.

I started off in radio back when we were still spinning 45s and then spent more than 30 years writing and voicing communication projects for corporate clients and small business owners. For the best part of 15 years now, I've been principal writer and narrator for an Emmy-award winning series of magazine-style programs on North Carolina Public Television, UNC-TV, while keeping my VO chops up with video narrations and a few commercials.

My "Mercedes" delivery is perfect for upscale brand and image spots as well as documentary-style reads about history, people and the arts. I can give you a smooth, thoughtful take one minute and a cool, wry one the next - or transform myself into the dad next door, a warmhearted grandfather (which I am several times over) or a lighthearted storyteller.

Is my VO good for your ears? Give a listen and decide for yourself.

I wrote and narrated a short promo for the Blowing Rock Art & History Museum and a 3-minute piece describing the town's many attractions for their web site. Each Blowing Rock video, as well as the DDB product positioning video (explainer) below, was shot and produced by Kyle Grove of Rock Ridge Productions, Boone, NC.

The Whalehead Club is a beautifully crafted short documentary about an art nouveau coastal mansion, the fascinating people who built it and the era that spawned it. This segment was one of more than 120 I have written and voiced for the Emmy-award winning Our State series on UNC-TV (North Carolina Public Television).
