Recent appearances include performances for Anchorage Opera (Don José, Carmen), St. Petersburg Opera (Cavaradossi, Tosca), Central City Opera (Red Whiskers, Billy Budd), Dayton Opera (Nemorino, L’elisir d’amore), The Southern Illinois Music Festival (Ruggero, La Rondine), and The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (Tenor soloist, Beethoven 9).
