I had the amazing opportunity to work with the Utah Festival Opera & Musical Theatre Company last summer. I played the role of Enjolras in the high school production of Les Miserables. In my Junior year, I played the role of Gleb in Anastasia, and I played Laurie in Little Women. As a Senior, I played Daddy Murphy in the musical Bright Star and Prince Charming in Cinderella. I’ve been given the nomination for “Best Actor” for Gleb and Prince Charming. I’ve been doing vocal lessons at the Logan Music Academy for two years and have been a part of a few vocal performing camps at Utah State University. I’ve done three years of choir under the direction of Karen Teuscher. In my first year of choir, I was part of Green Canyon’s newly formed Vivace show choir. My Junior and Senior years were spent with the Crescendo show choir, which is our most experienced choir. I have participated in two years of the All-State Choir culminating in by singing in the Salt Lake Tabernacle under the direction of some world-renowned conductors. I am a member of a Men’s trio. I received a superior rating and ones in Region and State Solo and Ensemble. I received the “Semper Fidelis” award for musical excellence from the United States Marines Corps.
