Catherine’s fascination with audio began when she was a little girl playing with her parent’s tape recorder. High school was a medley of swing choir, marching band and musicals. After graduating from Iowa State University with a degree in Journalism, Catherine had her first gig at a radio station near the rock and roll landmark, the Surf Ballroom. After marrying a Missouri boy, she ended up working at WIL-FM and KLOU-FM in St. Louis. Later, after becoming a mom, she decided to build her own studio and start a company called stainedglassmedia.com. Since then, Catherine has been producing national and international commercials and voice overs, as well as three documentary DVDs and a music CD. Recently, she added narration to her accomplishments.
Catherine’s voice has been described in national reviews as polished and cheerful. When she’s not in her studio, she enjoys bike rides with her husband or walking on the beach with their golden retriever. Their son is in the Air Force and married with two beautiful children. Catherine is proud to say she is a coal miner’s granddaughter and a computer geek.
