Defining moments and milestones

His early success in managing both the Evan Hansen and Jared Kleinman roles established him as a versatile tenor capable of anchoring contemporary musicals, a reputation he has continued to build through subsequent roles in the Kimberly Akimbo national tour and his forthcoming Broadway debut in The Lost Boys.
