Summary

I am a baritone originally from the Nashville area, but I now reside in the Atlanta metro area where I study, work as a TA, and teach. I have a strong background in musical theater and have been performing in opera for the past several years. I am passionate about the growth and preservation of opera, supporting and developing contemporary works, and supporting both proven and new takes on the classics.
