I'm a professional solo vocalist (bass-baritone) and chorister, having sung in the GRAMMY™-winning Phoenix Chorale from 1989 through 2024, for a total of 30 full seasons. I've sung on recordings with the Phoenix Chorale (formerly the Phoenix Bach Choir) and the Kansas City Chorale that have been awarded a total of five GRAMMY™ awards (Phoenix Chorale on Spotify - Kansas City Chorale on Spotify).

As a soloist, the music of J.S. Bach is my specialty (I also serve on the board of the Arizona Bach Festival), so I'm happy to be contacted about singing cantatas, passions, or other oratorios such as Elijah, Messiah, or the requems of Brahms, Fauré, and Mozart. I've made solo appearances with the Phoenix Symphony, the Pacific Symphony, the Sommerakademie JS Bach in Stuttgart, the Arizona Bach Festival, the MusicaNova Orchestra, and a number of other professional ensembles and festivals. You can listen to samples of my solo performances on SoundCloud.

I am a part-time Administrator (and IT Specialist) for the Arizona Faith Network, and I have a web-solutions business, formerly named HyperCreations but rebranded to AZTopTech. I live in Tempe, Arizona with my wife, Jody, and we have two grown children, Ryan and Erika.

Just after the turn of the century, I served the choral music profession as the Manager of ChoralNet, the first online network for the choral music community, which I also helped create and develop.
