Raised in an era that consisted of some of the greatest classic cartoon voices, a young JW spent hours with his cassette recorder playing and mimicking greats such as Michael Bell, Jack Angel, and his personal favorite the late Chris Lata.

As an adult he utilized his memorable baritone in a variety of ways throughout the Midwest that included sports entertainment, hard rock and heavy metal, and public speaking.

After a brief career in the classroom as a math and science teacher, JW decided to take his talents to Los Angeles to pursue more formal training as an actor.

JW is currently studying with the top acting and voiceover teachers in Los Angeles to improve his performances both as an on screen talent and as the voices of animated characters he helps bring to life.
