How I got into music:
Having a family that enjoys the arts, I followed my brother’s footsteps into many things, with music being a large portion of it. Learning many instruments and then branching out doing some vocal performances, I had intentions of becoming a Vocal Music Educator. I studied after High School at SUNY Potsdam in the Crane school of Music. It was 5 long years of trials and tribulations, but I came to a hard realization that music education was just not my calling. (Some people though think otherwise, and I appreciate that). Along that period in college, I expanded on my vocal abilities, along with being accepted into an A Cappella group called the Potsdam Pointercounts . I studied Vocal percussion while in that group, and since my departure, I came back to Rochester and joined the Innerloop.

Hobbies:
Anything musically, whether it’s singing (yes, even karaoke), performing, dancing, or listening. I also enjoy working with electronics, traveling, cooking, movies, and believe it or not – shopping. Throw in stargazing, and long walks on the beach, and this could sound like a personals ad!

A few random thoughts:
Well, I am going to be taking my leave from the Loop here, but I wish them all the very best. Each and every one of these guys has a love for music that is unparalleled, and in their own individual ways. I will truly miss singing with these guys, and anyone who joins into this group will learn of what I mean.

My favorite quotes:
“That’s a 15 minute verbal, go to the corner”
“Oh Jack…”
“HEY!!!”
And my personal favorite – “You like-a de juice? Ahhh, de juice is-a good!”
