Vocalist and Performer


Tenor Vocalist - San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus

Picture
I auditioned and joined the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus in the fall of 2024 and it was one of the best decisions I've made personally and musically. 

This fantastic organization acts as a conduit for positive change in the LGBTQIA+ community and is the keystone of support for music, dance and performance lovers across the world. 

I am truly humbled and honored to able to perform with this group of beautiful humans.

Aqua Groove - Vocalist

When I first moved to Florida I went out to a local bar with an friend of mine. There I encountered the band Aqua Groove, a local but unique cover band that included a 3-piece horn section. They were searching for a male vocalist, and following an audition I began touring around the Tampa Bay area with them. Within a year our hard work paid off and we were named the No. 1 cover band in the Tampa Bay area by Creative Loafing magazine. They were some of my first, and are some of my longest-lasting friends in Florida.

NYC - The Price Group Talent Agency

Graduating from The Pennsylvania State University in 2009 during the height of the recession, there were not many architecture jobs to be found. At a local talent contest I was approached by a NYC talent agent named Lisa Price, who inquired about about my interest in moving to the city to pursue a career on Broadway. With no prospects on the horizon and a potential for design jobs in the city, I moved into a small Brooklyn apartment two weeks later. It was one of the most inspiring experiences of my life.

Other Pursuits

I have always been involved with music in one way or another. Prior to my work with Aqua Groove I used to sing R&B backup vocals for a rapper from Harlem named Brasco. I answered his Craigslist ad looking for a replacement vocalist and he liked my audition so much that we began touring around NYC.

In college I competed in several events, namely "Happy Valley's Got Talent" (2005) and "Penn State Idol" (2009), both of which I won. I was rewarded with an opportunity to perform in front of the University at Old Main lawn, for Homecoming.

In high school I was active in the school choir, madrigals & musical theater department. Thanks to the guidance of my mother, I completed 3 years of piano lessons at an early age. Music was always an important part of our household growing up, and being able to read music has helped me to excel in many other endeavors.
