| Introduction | All-around music nerd; I'm a long-time classical music lover and performer in the Portland area. I have performed as a bass/baritone with the Portland Symphonic Choir and Bach Cantata Choir, and as a keyboardist with Classical Revolution Portland among other engagements. I live in Milwaukie with my beautiful wife Kristin and son Theo. |
