Well all.. HOWDY!

I just wanted to take a moment to wish you all a Happy Holidays and to thank you all for the support you've sent our way this year.

I've been so fortunate to meet some truly awesome people this year and to have the production business reach out in wonderful new directions. I'm so glad to continue my journey with some cool people and organizations that see things the same way. It never ceases to amaze me just how similar all of us are, all you have to do is open your eyes and you will find those people that share goals and dreams.

I'll tell you, when I was growing up, all I wanted to do was to be involved in acting, entertainment and production. I really hoped that I would find a way to make a living doing those things. I knew from the get go that I would not be living a "normal" life while pursuing those things, but I knew it must be done in order for me to truly be happy and feel like I'd used the gifts and talents I'd been given.

I've worked in the "normal" field, and I'll tell ya.. I'm not cut out for that kind of thing. People ask me all the time.. "Well don't you get bored with being in the studio all day?" NOPE! Not at all.. I truly enjoy the freedom of getting up in the morning and getting my coffee, then off to the email finding out what types of work I'll be doing for the day. It's always a different type of thing every day. Each project holds new challenges and expectations. I do my best to rise to the occasion at every turn.

Do I have goals or have I pretty much met them? Well.. I'll tell you, you BET I have goals. I would very much like to expand the nature and concept of what I do. I know it's possible and is simply a matter of focus, faith and lots of luck.

I would love to thank some people who this year have really helped to restore my faith in the human condition and continually show me that we're all in this together.. not to pit ourselves against each other..

Bob Oakman- My friend, my production partner and all around confidant.. He and I have known each other for so long, and I just can't thank him enough for his counsel, his faith in me and for that continued pursuit of our collective goals.. You're the bombdiggity..

Stephanie & David Ciccarelli - Voices.com - Stephanie and David are so involved with every aspect of the voiceover community and they show it DAILY! I can't thank them enough for their faith in me, and how they treat me, and every other person with voices.com and in the voiceover community. They are truly passionate about the community and making sure that everyone has the tools to succeed. That is such a special gift that they give unselfishly at every chance. I am so happy to have become part of the voices.com family and I'm happy to consider them part of my family. Their success in being the #1 Voice Over talent agency is directly related to their involvement in the community and their faith in the people that make up it's members.. Thanks again you guys!

Kara Edwards - Here's someone you all need to know about. I'm sure you already do, but let me tell you more. Kara is one of the most unselfish people I've met in the field. She's upbeat and creative, always looking to approach new ideas and projects and will put whatever she can into it. She's just awesome to work with and I'm proud to call her a friend. I hope that all her dreams continue to come true as they already are, and that she and I can continue to work together for a LONG time.. to paraphrase her "You're all that and a bag of chips babe"

Gary Kroeger - The MUDD Group - Gary is a great guy with a true passion for what he does. My thanks go out to him for the faith he continues to show in what I'm trying to do. He's a visionary that can see where the market is going, and isn't afraid to follow his hunches.. I can't wait to do more with Gary. He truly has his finger on the pulse of the community! Thanks Gary!

Ed Vincent - Ed is an amazing human being and has such a creative genius. He grew up in comedy and in following that path, found himself serving our country for over 20 years in the Army National Guard. He's back to creative things now, and as my HD Video Production partner here locally, he brings his creativity to the table every day. He has that natural knowledge that I love to be around and work around. Whether we're working on production or just cruising up to the mountains to go shooting (our business retreats) he's someone I just love to hang out with. It's never boring and he's been such a valued friend and important part to getting the HD Video Division up and running.. as he would say.. "Coolio Julio"

I have so many more people I'd love to thank and you all know who you are.. I am truly thankful to all of you for the things we all share and I look so forward to continuing our journey together.

Thanks so much folks for being here and continuing to show your support.

I wish all of you a great Thanksgiving filled with the Warmth of Family and Friends..

Till next time..

Bye for Now..
