He has sung for several years with the San Francisco Opera chorus, covered solo roles for that company, and performed various roles such as Mack the Knife with the SFO subsidiaries, Spring Opera and Western Opera Theater. He is known to every Gilbert and Sullivan fan in the area, having repeatedly played all of the bass and most of the baritone roles in that repertoire (The Mikado, Pooh-Bah, Pirate King, Dick Deadeye, Archibald Grosvenor, Wilfred Shadbolt and the desperate Sir Despard Murgatroyd, to name a few), mostly with the Lamplighters, and has a Critic’s Circle award on the wall to prove it. Concert engagements include solos with the Sacramento Symphony and the San Francisco Symphony Pops under Arthur Fiedler and such oratorios as Haydn’s Creation as an agel and Harapha in Handel’s Samson. He has worked in films and voice-overs and recorded 19th century parlor ballads for the Musical Heritage Society. He is one of the Mother Lode Troupe, a touring repertory company performing historically accurate Gold Rush era music and drama.
