I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

I'm an opera singer from Long Beach, California...now living in Cincinnati, Ohio attending Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music in the Artist diploma program. Although I'm not exactly excited about living in the Midwest, I am happy with who I am, the direction I'm going, the friends I've made along the way, and excited about what the future holds. I'm anything BUT your average guy. I believe "average" is boring..."normal" is dull..."good" is not good enough. I'm a passionate man...there's so much I want, I NEED, to accomplish in this lifetime...and I'll do it. Just watch.

My Interests

Theatre, Opera, Dining out, Late city nights, Performing, Traveling, Being a music geek, clubbing, dancing (yes, I do dance!), Spending money, text messaging whore.
