Author, narrator, producer of stories big and small. Twice-immigrant, polite outlaw-wannabe funny man from the Pacific Northwest now living the geo-arbitrage lifestyle between Portland, OR and Helsinki, Finland.

Bilingual, fluent in English/Russian with a neutral North-American/General accent and smooth, controlled delivery and crystal-clear diction.

Former healthcare and court interpreter with a knack for medical and legal jargon.

As a writer, I've spent a minute or two on getting into the minds of characters to make them more genuine, relatable, and realistic across a variety of genres.

I wanted my first novel, The Hidden Pull, to become an audiobook, and in recording it discovered a new love for voice acting and went all-in. I built a fully equipped studio, produced over 20 titles for Audible, Findaway Voices/Spotify, Readeezy, and others, and have never looked back.

I am a firm believer in continued professional development, and have received 30+ hours of 1-on-1 coaching instruction in commercial, corporate, audiobook and character genres from Jesse Carroll of Voiceover School, Dave Bisson of Adventures in Voice Acting, Brad Hyland of American Voice Power, J. Michael Collins of JMC Demos, the legendary Marc Grau and the master storyteller Scott Brick!

Commercial clients include Roomba, Western Digital, Air Lift Performance, Bluon AI, RevealAJI, San Francisco Travel, and others.
