Anomy — My Way to Sea Manifesto
A narrative for Anomy, Europe’s largest maker of paddleboards, which are available here in the U.S.
The video, which appears on the Anomy website, was produced by Arnau Giol at Jirada Digital Creative Agency of Madrid and Barcelona, Spain. We recorded the narrative in a three-way session between the ad agency’s production manager Arnau Giol and the account executive in Madrid, the client in Barcelona, and myself in the U.S.
The Greatest Art Forger in Post-War History
Wolfgang Beltracchi, the man who admitted to forging hundreds of paintings and outsmarted the most powerful players in the international art world for more than 40 years, earning millions of euros. Since his arrest in 2010, art institutions around the world have worked tirelessly to make his artworks inaccessible to the public. Now, Wolfgang Beltracchi is collaborating with a Swiss-based crypto company to enter the unforgeable world of digital art.
I was honored to narrate the presentation, which introduces Beltracchi’s next masterpiece project. The project was directed by Daniel Kunz of Cheese & Chocolate Film of Zürich, Switzerland for Gallerie Persterer in Zürich.
Illuminazione
My vicarious visit back to Tuscany. This is my English language narrative for the 60th Anniversary of Italy’s Benedetti Lighting.
The project was produced by David Barbieri and Thomas Pizzinga of Elephant Studios with David directing my voice recording session live from Florence.
It’s such an honor to have been chosen to voice this commemorative, and a pleasure to work with these two Italian producers.
Kurz – Real Metal in Digital Printing
A voice-over for a film to tease the introduction of digital metalized printing from LEONHARD KURZ Stiftung & Company of Fuerth, Germany.

A narrative for the Orix Foundation of Dallas 2018 Impact Report.
It’s an honor to have the opportunity to voice a project for an organization that is elevating the quality of life for those who are less fortunate. It’s also a delight to be asked to speak in my natural voice.
This video for the Orix Foundation was produced by Trae Swayze of Frozen Fire in Dallas, Texas.
English Language Narrative for Zirkonzahn
My narrative for Zirkonzahn, a South Tyrolean dental company, which provides high-quality dental material, software, and milling systems to dental technicians and dentists worldwide. A German version of the narration had already been recorded when I was chosen for the English language version of the presentation, and my assignment involved matching the pacing and delivery style of the talented German voice actor.
Many thanks to Hannes Walder and the Zirkonzahn creative services team. It’s an honor to be associated with such lovely, lyrical and imaginative storytelling.
Narrative for Woolaroc Branding Film
A recent narrative for the legendary Woolaroc Museum and Wildlife Preserve. Hidden away in the rugged Osage Hills of Northeastern Oklahoma, Woolaroc was established in 1925 as the ranch retreat of oilman Frank Phillips. The ranch is a 3,700-acre wildlife preserve, home to many species of native and exotic wildlife, such as buffalo, elk and longhorn cattle. Woolaroc is also a museum with an outstanding collection of western art and artifacts, Native American material, one of the finest collections of Colt firearms in the world, and so much more.
Produced by Jim Spanos for ConocoPhillips.
Cowboy Voice for a Texas Brewery
A recent cowboy voiceover for Edgewise Eight Brewing. Producer-Director Ryan Boles of Ft. Worth came to the right guy when he began looking for a gruff & gravelly old cowboy to voice his commercial for this award-winning craft beer brewer in Weatherford, Texas.
Thanks to Ryan, and to Edgewise Eight owners Colt, Clifton, and Barney Ellis. I’m honored to be your signature voice.
