How did you come to performing audiobooks?

I was working as a theatre actor and teaching acting for a college theatre department and was looking to move away from academia. A narrator friend who hired me for my first theatre gig after grad school mentioned online that he was taking audiobook coaching clients and I thought – that might be just perfect. I reached out and… turns out it was perfect.

Anything else you’d like a listener to know?

“Some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.” – Gilda Radner
Reach out! I love hearing from readers – ‘cuz when I record, I’m doing it for you. When you press play it’s just you and me, making our way through the world with these characters and hoping for the best. Unless it’s a thriller and then it’s kind of a toss up on the “best” thing.
