He not only comes to the piano with professionalism and incredible skill, but also with heart. He can play anything, he knows everything, and he sees everything. He has played for me before every major audition I have had in the last ten years. I am grateful and lucky to have him in my life!” - Annaleigh Ashford, Tony Award winner for You Can't Take It With You
