About me…

I was born in a small town in East Tennessee, United States, and grew up with a pretty standard life. Wake up, go to school, go home and sit in my room playing video games. Rinse. Repeat. When I was about 6 or 7, I went to a local news channel for a Halloween event dressed as the Red Power Ranger, and when responding to the classic “What’s your name, son?”, they were shocked and commented on how low my voice was for my age. This would be the starting point for me finding my…well, my voice.

For the years to follow, my voice would continue to be a defining factor in who I was. From story-telling and (attempted) seduction to funny, original voices and character impersonations, my voice has always been one of my defining factors. Unfortunately, I never did anything productive with it. Once I left for college, I really started to change who I was to appease others, and quickly began to forget what made me unique. This would be the “new me” through graduation.

In 2013, I became a father, and that little girl became the most important thing in my world. So, I got a “big boy” job. I started to feel the fear of being a cubicle junkie. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, I just needed to have my creative juices flowing. So, I did what every youth did in 2013 and started a YouTube channel. That was…unsuccessful. So, I tried Twitch; also…unsuccessful. Then, one day in 2018, my wife said something along the lines of “You know, you talk about voice acting all the time. You are clearly passionate about it and you love reading to [our daughter]. How hard is it to get into that?” So I did, and never looked back.

So here I am, finally utilizing the gift that I’ve known about since I was 6 years old. I haven’t been able to make a career out of it yet, but that is the goal of this website and my business. I don’t have a long and aged list of credits to my name, but I have the passion and drive to reach that inevitable day, all thanks to a loving and supportive family, and an online community that has pushed and inspired me. If you have found this page, then I am one step closer to achieving that goal, and I would love to add my voice to your project.
