Growing up in the small Washington farming community of Mattawa, I developed a profound love for two very different styles of music, classical opera and that of the traditional mexican mariachi.

Through the encouragement and support of my family, I began singing at family events at the age twelve. During my teenage years, I enlisted in middle and high school choirs simply for the enjoyment of performing. It was not until my senior year of high school when upon entering my first state vocal contest where I realized I possessed the inner drive to perform. In the fall of 1996, I was accepted into the well known Central Washington University Music Program. For the next three and half years, under the direction of Dr. Sydney Knesselroad, I devoted my full attention to the vocal and performing arts. I finished my education attending the John Sperling School of Business at the University of Phoenix in Business Management. Currently, I am studying under my professional mentor and retired opera performer, Mr. Jerry Hasley. Under the tutelage of Jerry Hasley, he has promised that my performances will deliver a "spine tingling" voice that people would pay to see.

Currently, I am performing throughout the State of Washington on my first tour. It will be completed by Winter of 2014. In addition, with the help of Jerry Hasley agency, One Good Voice, I will be recording a CD for release in Summer of 2015.
