Current Events:
Crazy For You
Back at the Scera Outdoor Amphitheater for a summer performance of Crazy for You. After having played Bobby in this production with the Cache Regional Theater Company, I now have the opportunity to play his alter-ego Bella Zangler in this hillarious musical comedy. Featuring the classic tunes of George Gershwin, this is one of my very favorites. I'm also super excited to get to share the stage with my wife Julia who will be playing Irene Roth. Come see us and be sure to say hi afterwards.

Liken's: The First Christmas
This Christmas, Liken is returning with The First Christmas. Adapted from one of the most popular movies in the Liken series, this stage version includes all the songs fans have come to love from the film, along with brand new music and dancing created especially for this production. After originating the role of Omar the Shepherd and also playing Omar in last year's stage production, I get the change things up a bit and play the role of Joseph. This show has particular meaning to me as it is what brought my wife and I together for the first time. We met performing in this show. This year's production will also include an updated set, a brand new original song, and a touching new modern day storyline. Christmas continues to be such a special time of year for me and I look forward to celebrating it again this year with my Liken family. Come join us and be sure to say hello after the show.

I Crave The Rain
I've been playing the piano and writing music since I was 8 years old. I have a lot of original music, arrangements and contemporary songs in my head, but this is the first one that I have actually recorded in any way, shape, or form. It was inspired several years ago by a dear friend of mine who expressed her childhood fantasy of being kissed in the rain. This is one of several original songs that I am recording for an album entitled "Along The Way". All of my songs have been inspired by my personal relationships and life experiences which have transpired along the way... hence the name of the album. Hope you enjoy.

Utah Foundation for the Blind
A little while ago, I became aquainted with several very immpressive young people from the Utah Foundation for the Blind and Visually impaired. As a result, I had the opportunity to co-write a song to be submitted as the theme song for the organization and what it represents. Come join us this weekend, Friday February 10, at the Red Lion Hotel for the "Love is Blind" benefit dinner to support the many programs and activites that are offered through this great organization. I will be performing the song that we wrote for the foundation as well as my own original music.

"He is Born"
Click here to watch "He is Born" from the Liken film The First Christmas.
The fifth Liken Movie (my 3rd film) was The First Christmas. In this episode, I got to play along side my good friend Josh Tenney as Omar the Shepherd. This film was so meaningful for me and I'm so grateful I was given the opportunity to sing the lead vocal in one of the most beautiful christmas songs around, "He is Born". I got to sing alongside a great Acapella group and I really enjoyed filming this role.

"Here Waiting"
Click here to watch a clip of "Here Waiting" from the Liken film Nephi & Laban.
This is the first Liken film in a 9 film series of live action musical films based on Book of Mormon and Bible stories. In this first film, I played Nephi's brother Sam (or as I am referred to in the film as "Sam I Am"). It's been such a pleasure for me to be associated with these films. The Cast and Crew on these films are true professionals and I have had the time of my life performing in these films.
