Current project
Albert Herring by Benjamin Britten
Currently, I am in rehearsal for an opera called Albert Herring by Benjamin Britten. I have been cast as Superintendent Budd, the resident basso profundo of the production. This opera will be performed in Northen Recital Hall at WTAMU, under the direction of Sarah Beckham-Tuner and conducted by Amarillo Symphony's George Jackson. This performance will be in conjunction with the Harrington String Quartet, as well. Performances are March 29th and 30th of this year.

I have been acting since I was in high school, and singing much longer. I didn't have much of an idea what I wanted to do as my career until I fell in love with musical theatre, and it consumed my life. It was only later, studying in my bachelor's degree, that I found another love for opera. Since beginning my classical vocal training and the work that I do as a performer of opera, I feel like I have finally found my calling for life. I am exactly where I want to be and where I think I should be.
My Voice
What Drives Me
What Drives Me
As I began training my voice once I got to college, I found that my I was reaching new depths that I hadn't previously discovered. I started doing opera and competing in classical voice competitions, and was found to be a basso profundo. This typically pushes me to portray antagonist characters, but any role that comes to me is a welcome one. Dream role, you may ask? Frollo of Hunchback.

My "Free Time"
In my free time, I love to keep my body active. I regularly run marathons and frequent the gym, I have found it to be a space for mental clarity. I also play both the guitar and piano, in an effort to keep myself musically evolving. It would be remiss of me not to mention my puppy dog, Circe. She's a chiweenie!
