Here is a video that I narrated for The Greater Houston Partnership Houston | Greater Houston Partnership
Houston, Texas holds a very special place in my heart. After leaving Hollywood in 2006, I set out for Houston. I had decided to make a change in my life after a rough patch in VO in LA. I’ll tell that story someday soon. But I sold my house in LA and headed to Texas. My brother and I had bought some land there and decided to build a mobile home park. We did it. I spent 5 full years living and working on real estate in Houston, all while maintaining my VO career with my home studio in place.
I hooked up with Houston talent agency Pastorini-Bosby Talent Agency, Houston TX | Voice Over Talent, Actors | PB Talent
Throughout my VO career, I had garnered relationships with studios and agencies throughout the US. It was fantastic to have a local talent agency in Houston and you can’t do better than PB Talent. I still have a great relationship with PB Talent and am grateful that they keep me on their roster. A special shout out to Cindi Davis-Andress of PB Talent.
Anyway, Houston was an important time in my life. I’m forever grateful for the experience living, working and creating there. Not only did we build a mobile home park, but I bought another mobile home park, bought and sold houses, earned a real estate license and opened a donut shop during my time there. Texas is a very “can-do” sort of place. Local government, in my opinion, was very helpful for every endeavor we attempted to do. There was an efficiency and an entrepreneurial spirit that was pervasive.
I moved back to California in 2011 but kept the properties in Texas for a few more years after that. I love to visit whenever I can. I miss Texas. I really do.
