Professional narrator/voice-over artist/actor from Portland, Oregon, USA. Before coming to Japan, I worked for four years as an exhibit designer at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, editor of books for the blind and handicapped and as an audiobook narrator. After working as a narrator in the U.S., I came to Japan 14 years ago and have gone on to become one of the most active voice actors and narrators in Tokyo. I am currently a regular narrator for NHK radio courses such as "Basic English 1," "Practical Business English," and "Radio English," and occasionally appear in front of the camera as a reporter for NHK World programs. I have worked as a reporter for the NHK World program "Little Charo 2". I am also a regular narrator for an English education magazine. I have been the voice of "Speed Learning" for the past 10 years, and my narration in TV and radio commercials can be heard every day. I am good at voicing characters and am a member of the CART team. I have voiced the main character "RD" in the US version of the CARTOON NETWORK animated series "Zoids Fusers," and have voiced characters in many other games including "PS3" and "NINTENDO DS. I have also narrated many documentaries and corporate promotional videos.
