He trained at the Manhattan School of Music and attended the Merola Opera Program in San Francisco before joining the National Opera Studio in London. He has performed with many leading opera companies including the English National Opera, Glyndebourne Opera, Garsington Opera, Grimeborn Opera, and Birmingham Opera.
