I have been chanting since 1998 and currently serve as Protopsaltis (first chanter) of St. John the Divine Greek Orthodox Church in Jacksonville, Florida.

Before moving to Florida, I spent eleven years as Lampadarios of the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Atlanta, leading the cathedral’s left choir, and served for a time as its Pastoral Assistant.

I came to Byzantine chant from a long background in classical music and I learned to chant the traditional way: from master chanters, standing beside and across from them at the chant stand, service after service. That remains the best way to learn, and it’s how I try to teach. I have led choirs and taught since 2010, in person and, since 2025, online as well. Even so, I am still a student of this incredible art, and grateful to the teachers who continue to shape how I chant.
