QUESTION:
What was the best and the worst moment of your career?
ANSWER:
Being the announcer on the Academy Awards was a big thrill. It was also exciting to get the lead role in Voltron early in my voice-over career. At the time I wasn’t sure if I could even get work in the field. The worst experiences would be getting fired from the first two radio jobs I ever had. My employers told me that I had no talent for radio and should do something else.

QUESTION:
Tell us something about yourself.
ANSWER:
I would describe myself as lucky - because I always knew what I wanted to do and I was fortunate enough to be able to do it. I decided that I wanted to work in radio when I was fifteen years old and by the age of eighteen I was in the business. Later, when I was older and began losing interest in radio, I developed a passion for voice-over work and managed to get into that business as well. Many people never figure out what they want to do. Others do but aren’t able to make it happen.

QUESTION:
Tell us something about your family and your friends.
ANSWER:
I’ve been with my wife for thirty five years. My friends tend to be people I’ve known for a long time as well. Most of my friends are people I met in radio or voice-overs.
