A selection from my narration of the "Miracle On Ice" chapter of Al Michaels' memoir You Can't Make This Up. Describes the 1980 US Olympic hockey team's unbelievable upset over the Russians, including Michaels' now iconic "Do You Believe In Miracles?", one of the greatest sports calls ever. It was also a seminal moment in my childhood, leading me to learn to skate and play hockey. It was a thrill to narrate this story.

On a whim, I cut a narration of one of my and my son's favorite children's books, Stop That Ball by Mike McClintock, illustrated by Fritz Siebel. It's the story of a boy chasing his ball on an epic adventure around his town.
The voice over track for the video promo of The Road From Appomattox by Richard Helleson. The play tells the story of an historical meeting between Generals Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee on the day after the surrender at Appomattox.
At one time considered the longest word in English, this chemical compound came up in a book I narrated for the National Library Service for the Blind. After looking up pronunciations of the individual parts, I strung them all together (with a few edits!) to make the longest word I've certainly ever pronounced at 2:05.
