William's Story
Life
Well, lets see! I haven't done the big M yet, just haven't met the right one! Let me try to catch you up with the micro version of the past 20 + years. After high school I moved out of the house to find my way in this big old world. I had my ups and down like most of us I suppose. I spent a good portion of the 80's growing and changing, plus dealing with two-knee surgeries, retraining, then moving to Long Beach, CA. for a change of pace. With life's twists and turns I found myself moving to Redding, CA in 1985 for family reasons and to start a new career in radio and entertainment. I started the 90's with a new baby boy born in 1993(Tyler, my only child) With my back ground in voice impressions and quick come backs (smart-ass), I started doing a radio morning show from 6-10am, and commercials for busines's here in the Redding and surrounding area. It was a fluke on how that all happened! I was also lucky enough to have a good friend train me in his spare time so I was able to obtain my private investigators license as a surveillance technician. (I film you where you can't see me doing it)! I worked both jobs all threw the 90's. The year beginning 2000 was both sweet and sour! I was offered my big break with the company The Sharper Image. Robin Williams had earlier turned down the job, and I was lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to get ...Expand for more
the job. I'm now the voices of 3 toys called the Q-ball for that company. It sure got my career in the entertainment industry on a roll. The sour part of that year was loosing my older brother Mitch to colon cancer at the age of 42. He was a graduate of Newark High class of 75. At least he got to see his little brother make it big before he passed. That was a real hard blow to our family! I guess his death really sparked something inside me; I enrolled in college and received three AA degrees, And now working to finish my BA in Communication and a minor in broadcasting at CSU Chico State, then on to my Masters in the same. You see, I did it bass akwards; I did the career and then got the degrees! Better late then never I guess! I'm currently sending out my voices to different companies like Disney/ Pixar, DreamWorks, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Fox, and other different networks in hopes of jobs while continuing to work on my degrees.I currently (2009) work for Charter Media voicing commercials and working on my MA degree at Chico State. My son is now 15,6'5" 220lbs and plays 3 sports. I couldn't have ordered a better one! He keeps me grounded, active and staying young! And yes, he's a chip off the old block! So I guess that about catches you up on things in my life. If you would like more details drop me a line and we'll spend some time catching up on things!
