I guess I have been singing all my life. I was in church choir when I was a kid. I sang in high school choir, and I auditioned for a Song and Dance Company that came thru my hometown when I was a senior in high school. Stewart Daylida, the Master of Laughter in EFX, was on that tour. The group was called the Young Americans. That's where I received my semi-formal theater training.
I moved on to work for Disney. I performed in LA, Japan, and at the Orlando parks. Then I worked in LA as a model and tried my hand at acting, but music was my first love. I worked in revue shows at Caesar's Atlantic City before I made my way to Vegas.
My first show in Vegas was a revue at the Sands called Swing, Swing, Swing. Then for two years I was the lead singer at the Folies Bergere. When David Cassidy took over the lead in EFX, I was hired to be his understudy.
Now I am happy to be back at the Folies Bergere as the Lead Singer/MC. I enjoyed my run at EFX, but since they eliminated the Masters' roles for the Springfield version, it just wasn't fulfilling waiting for the Star to be sick or injured. I am happy being back in a show where I can perform every night! I would eventually like to round out my performing career with a Broadway credit.
The main things in my life now are my beautiful wife and my son. That's the important part of my life. The rest is just show biz.
