I met Emma in 2009 when we both were in the same jazz class with Michele Weir together. I was impressed by her jazz piano skills from the get go. I remember one day walking into the main building at camp and running into her and her friend Liam Bradbery. She stopped me and told […]
I met Carrie Haber in L.A. at a summer vocal camp and saw her perform her song Me Oh My before this video was actually recorded. She did it solo on the piano and had the audience from the minute she walked on stage. I remember she wore a little hat similar to what you […]
I never claim to be a photographer but I enjoy doing photo shoots every now and again for friends and family. I certainly don’t have the technical expertise but I like toying around with composition and image ideas. Sandy was kind enough to trust me to do her engagement photos. We got an early start […]
Edna was one of the most challenging roles I have ever played. I can’t say I would be rushing to wear high heels in a show ever again but the experience was worth the journey. I have a new appreciation for the effort woman put into themselves. I was certainly grateful for the backstage crew […]
I will always look back fondly when thinking of playing the Tinman with some of my dearest friends Jared Saunders, Scott Morgan, and Dana Swofford. I will never forget when I played the final scene for the very last time on stage when the wizard bestows a heart upon me and tells me not to […]

Makenzie was a vocal star to me the first time I met her. Right from the get go, I knew she had a beautiful gift and we spent most of our time working on eliminating any vocal tension in her voice and managing vocal bridges. When she first started doing R&B songs, she was a […]
When I first heard this song on the Kristin Chenoweth album, I fell in love with it. Brooke has such a great interpretation of it and she’s tiny and sassy just like Kristin. I enjoyed working with Brooke on building a richer, fuller 3rd vocal bridge and helping her experiment with her jazz style more. […]
Once in a while you get a voice student that comes along that is an absolute kick in the pants. Every time I’ve been in a session with Richie, I’ve been amazed at his enthusiasm and never-ending energy. Oh, to be more like him every moment of every day. When we first met, we were […]
The Steele family is one of the most incredible families I’ve met. I had the privilege of working with Keegan and was always impressed with how the work on his voice always felt like a family team effort. It has been inspiring to watch the many things Keegan has achieved and his hard work and […]
