I am a dedicated vocal music professional who has a passion for encouraging and helping others reach their potential as creative artists. Primarily as a vocalist, lyric baritone, I have had the experience of performing in a wide variety of settings. For example as a chorus member i have performed multiple times at Carnegie Hall with the Westminster Symphonic Choir, throughout France and England with Westminster Kantorei Choir, and Barcelona with the Westminster Choir. As a soloist, I have held engagements most recently with the Spoleto USA Festival in Tchaikovsky's Eugene Onegin, and I have performed a wide variety of concert solos ranging from Haydn and Mozart Masses to early music. From 2009-2015, I was a high school choir director outside Nashville, TN in which I taught multiple scholastic ensembles and volunteer after school programs. These ensembles scored consistently high marks both at the state and regional level. My private students also received high marks at various adjudication festivals and many received collegiate scholarships for their music abilities, including two full ride scholarships. I am also an instrumentalist by trade, growing up in the concert and marching band world playing percussion and saxophone. I have continued to use these skills in pit orchestras for musicals. Additionally, i play acoustic guitar, first as a hobby, but now I have professional experience leading corporate worship for the past six years.
