But he is also a busy voice-actor! He speaks and writes prodigiously for the voice-acting community, blogging five days a week for “Voice Acting in Vegas,” the popular blog on his Courvo.com website.

As well as the narration of over 40 audiobook titles to his credit, he has a wealth of experience in medical/technical narrations, explainer videos, radio and TV commercials, as well as documentaries and corporate training videos.
