I have lived in radio, advertising, and marketing all of my working life. Fascinated by radio at an early age, I got my first radio job while still in high school at a small town station in Ontario. Rising quickly to Afternoon Host and Music Director, I soon moved to the prairies for more adventures. After a few more years on air, I was drawn to the world of advertising and marketing where I has been ever since.
During the past 37 years, I have helped hundreds of clients develop better advertising and make better connections with their customers. I have presented keynote sessions on how to build great ads and ad campaigns, and has voiced so many radio and TV commercials, corporate narrations, and phone messages, that he has lost count!
I do voice work for clients across North America and Europe. I have voiced commercials, corporate narrations and other recordings for the likes of the U.S. Army, Sask Tel, Broadway Bank (Texas), Goodwill of Central Texas, 87 Agency (Paris, France), PHD, Farm Credit Canada, Locke Bryan Productions, Enroll.us, Deerhurst Resort (Ontario) and many more.
I understand that advertising has one purpose, and one purpose only for a business – to help that business make more money. While new buzz words, trends, and diversions have come and gone over the years, this remains the single most important purpose for any advertising campaign or strategy.
