Anthony,
I make
music with people.

about

The short version.

I came to music the long way around. I quit it once, came back to it on my own terms, and now I'm in this field on purpose.

These days the work happens in three rooms. Onstage as a tenor and actor, mostly musical theater. In rehearsal as a director, early in that book and growing it. In the studio and classroom as a voice teacher, guitar teacher, and music educator.

"Confidence is built by surviving the moment
the plan falls apart."

I sing. I act. I direct. I teach voice. I teach guitar. I work as a music educator with schools and youth programs.
