I don't get much time to perform these days, but I have been lucky enough to sing the National Anthem for a variety of events including four Utah Jazz basketball games, a Vegas Golden Knights hockey game, and the graduation ceremonies for UNLV law school at my graduation. In my few moments of free time, I enjoy playing basketball/baseball, singing, playing piano and guitar, and spending time with my three adorable kids and my lovely wife.. I am passionate about the work I do. My time in theatre has taught me how to be an effective advocate for my clients.
