Raised on the Music

Some of my earliest memories are of sitting on the heat vent on Saturday mornings, listening to my dad's Bluegrass Student Union album on the record player and of sneaking out of bed to hear The Buffalo Bills from the hallway as the rest of the family watched The Music Man after my bedtime. My family sang regularly in the car and around the piano.

Throughout school I pursued every musical opportunity I could find: piano lessons, choir, band, musical theater, composition contests, and AP Music Theory. I sang with two different quartets in two different cities.

Building the Foundation

I earned an Associate of Science from the College of Eastern Utah, studying music composition and choral conducting under Russell Wilson before completing a Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts & Sciences at Utah State University.

A few years after college I played school board member Jacey Squires in two community productions of The Music Man. The second production brought me into The 4 Hims quartet. My love of barbershop was reignited.

Singing Across the Country

I joined the Barbershop Harmony Society in 2011 as a tenor with The Kentuckians Chorus and began recording learning tracks under the mentorship of Jon Nicholas. I sang tenor with Vintage Airstream, the 2012 Cardinal District Novice Quartet Champions.

Job changes and moves gave me the gift of singing briefly with several exceptional choruses: Southern Gateway (baritone), Kentucky Vocal Union (lead), and The Saltaires (lead).

People who influenced my early barbershop life:

The Barbershop Life

In 2014 I collaborated with my 4 Hims brothers to found North Front Sound, a men's chorus in Davis County, Utah. I served as its first President and currently serve as VP of Music. I currently serve on the Events team for the Rocky Mountain District and continue to arrange and record for ensembles across the country.
