While I appreciate contributions, as always I'm very willing to do additional work for your support. Please consider hiring me for any voice needs you may have. In the past year I've done radio commercials for WMATA, narrated a video for Trains Magazine and voiced a presentation for Virginia DOT, among others. You can hear samples of my work here.
