2009 has been a busy year. The national run of the American Cancer Society Commercial has really raised my profile and has opened a lot of doors. In addition to the American Cancer Society I appeared in a national tv ad for The AARP. An Independent film in which I played a nice role will be previewed in October of 2009 and the voice over work is picking up. Upcoming appearances include the Meadows Club in Rolling Meadows on Tues Nov. 17th and The Crystal Sky Banquet Hall in McCook Il on Nov. 20th with a return to The Meadows club on Dec 8th. Come back to this site often as I will be announcing soon a new engagement in the NW suburbs as well as an upcoming trip overseas.
