A few great people who helped me along the way
My first and greatest voice
teacher Bruce Tolbert.  His
perseverance and "stickler
for detail " approach to
singing gave me the frame
work for a solid technique
My Benefactor & Friend
James Melonas. If it weren't
for his belief in me I would
have never gotten where I
am today.
The teacher who discovered me
and brought me to Yale
Phyllis Curtin

Delores Schooley, my second
benefactor and friend.  She gave me the
solid support I needed to grow as a
person and artist.
My last teacher, Blake Stern.  I wish I
could channel his spirit.  He was the
greatest tenor I have ever known.
My vocal coach at Yale, Ryan
Edwards. He was the  teacher who
made the greatest impact on me.  He
taught me to  "not give a good
performance but an unforgettable one."
