How did you come to performing audiobooks?

I was already a fan of a lot of authors and reviewed books. I reviewed an audiobook poorly and was told if I could do so much better why don’t I do it. So I did. Yes, my career started because I was a petty queen.

Anything else you’d like a listener to know?

I guess the craziest thing would be that I worked in professional wrestling as a camera and production guy with WWE Developmental for a decade and maintain some relationships with bigger stars of today like Nigel McGuinness, Jon Moxley and LA Knight. I’ve been in the ring and trained and worked matches under a mask when needed and refereed matches with some of today’s biggest names!
