About

Lots of range here! From naturally friendly and warm to folksy storyteller to irreverent man-on-the-street and everything in between...Dave is an easy-going Midwest guy with a distinctive voice---30+ years of experience. In addition to serious narrations, Dave's career as a standup comedian has endured for over three decades- a talent that lends itself seamlessly to those voiceover projects that are looking for someone who can naturally pull off humor and improvisation. ' Clean humor with imaginative angles. Impeccable comedy timing!" The Los Angeles Times Winner of several Clio Awards ( Oklahoma Oil and Natural Gas) and Addy Awards ( as voice of Steak N' Shake for 17 years)- you may have also heard Dave on numerous TV and radio campaigns for Disney, Ford, Culligan Water and Campbell's Soup, as well as lots of AG commercials! ( His down-to-earth, trustworthy voice connects well with farmers.) Dave also wrote and voiced a hilarious man-on-the-street campaign for HARDEE'S RESTAURANTS. Currently Dave can be heard on broadcast campaigns for Spectracide Insect Spray, Interra Credit Union and as ongoing characters on national radio spots for Ruby Receptionist. He has also voiced many documentaries and series focused on INDY CAR DRIVERS and is THE VOICE of the 100-year history of the Indy 500. Dave's new comedy special " HUMAN CANNONBALL " is now featured on Dry Bar Comedy---the very popular comedy streaming site for CLEAN comedians! He's also made multiple appearances on COMEDY CENTRAL, HBO, FOX, CBS. What led Dave into the longtime dual careers of VOICE OVER AND COMEDY? To hear Dave tell it, he had nowhere else to turn. “Born into a family of home builders, I quickly found that being handy is not necessarily hereditary. One summer I worked on construction jobs for my Dad and quickly found I was allergic to ….hard labor. In some ways, I think I entered the world of voiceover ( and comedy) by default.” One more fun fact, Dave recently set a WORLD RECORD for number of laps driven around a roundabout (717 laps!)...Appropriately set on Groundhog's Day---the quest helped raise thousands for cancer programs and services. At their annual fundraiser, the charitable organization presented Dave with an award to acknowledge his world record for charity. Dave claims, ‘‘it is the only award I have ever won, unless you count Honorable Mention for my 5th Grade science fair project----The Digestive System.”
