How did you come to performing audiobooks?

My wife and I interviewed David Smith a former Disneyland Cast Member about his book, and he asked me on the spot to narrate it. Then after losing my ‘day job’ of 15 years, jumped into the booth full-time

Anything else you’d like a listener to know?

I believe life is WAY too short to take seriously. We all need good distractions in our lives, to help ease the pain of reality, and I LOVE being able to bring that distraction to people. I named my vocal booth the Monsters Inc. T.A.R.D.I.S. because both of those franchises sum up what I believe that booth is, a place to have fun, and transport us (me) into incredible new realms.
