Voice Actor, Audio Engineer / Producer, Musician
Drawn to acting & performing in bands during school years, by my early 20s I was making stages & studios my career. As a musician & singer, work took me around half of the world & helped me establish a recording studio & boutique record label. About the time I began engineering audio for remote clients, voice work, too, entered my life.
These days when not tracking dialogue, engineering for games, toons, films & audio dramas, being a session producer/musician, or creating my own releases, I still get to perform live music every now & then, mostly out around Ontario.
Contact me if you'd like to discuss a gig, or take a look around here for more details. And THANK YOU for stopping by.

In 2016, I was commissioned to write, produce & perform a song in the film 'The Face Beneath' (on IMDB), an indie written & directed by Ratish Nair from the north eastern USA.
In 2017, I made an appearance in the documentary 'Waiting For Ishtar' (on IMDB), a look into the life of an actor searching for a connection to other fans of the infamous movie starring Warren Beatty & Dustin hoffman. WFI was written & directed by Jonathan Crombie & John Mitchell. It includes interviews with some of the cast members of Ishtar plus the talented singer/songwriter Paul Williams.
