I am the executive director and founder of the Da Capo Institute, a professional tenor, a teacher, a coach, a father of 4, an IT director for Capital One, and a dedicated minister of music. Music and people are at the center of my soul. "There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action. And because there is only one you in all time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium…the world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, or how valuable, or how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open.
