How I got into music: Started playing trumpet at age 7 until I couldn't hit the high notes.
Diagnosis: juicy lips.
Treatment: switch to baritone, trombone and tuba where I flourished. It also allowed me to more easily harass the flute section. My brothers both sang bass and liked to collect Star wars figures. Soon, I too began to stare dreamily at my Ewok village while singing in the choir, musicals, for my church and after Bills touchdowns. I met Jack White and Andy Buscemi in a Barbershop Group in Gates, NY two years ago. From there I joined Innerloop. It has been a great feeling to return to my musical roots after drinking some time off for college. Music is the language of the human soul.

Hobbies: computers, collecting College degrees, graphic design, football, basketball, documentaries, singing,quality reality tv, tailgating, travel on jetblue, pizzeria combos, watching people complain about cold weather in Rochester, Buffalo Bills, SU sports, software proliferation

A few random thoughts: originally from Homer, NY - moved to Rochester to attend school at RIT. Studied at University at Buffalo also. Recently obtained my first legal motor vehicle inspection. Parents now live in Espanola, New Mexico. I'm happy to be a part of a group of guys who love and appreciate music. We will continue to bring street show a cappella to Rochester for years to come.
