After over a decade away from music in the corporate world, Cory returned to his passion with his engagement in St. Petersburg Opera’s 2018 season as 2nd Priest in Mozart’s Die Zauberflöte, Verdi’s La Traviata as Giuseppe, and a salesman in Meredith Wilson’s The Music Man. He went on to be seen in Tampa Opera’s 2018/2019 productions of DieFledermaus, La Bohème and The Pearl Fishers. Joining Opera Tampa Singers, Cory is thankful to have been involved with an outreach organization that strives to make classical music and opera attainable and available for everyone to enjoy, not just the privileged few. In 2021 Cory moved to the mountains of North Carolina to begin the rehabilitation of a 100+ year old farmhouse to its former glory with his husband. He never stopped singing though and could often be found out in the back pasture practicing arias while feeding the goats. The last two years has been spent on maturing his voice and Cory is excited for the chance to get back on the Mainstage. Cory's other areas of interest include Opera, Musicals, Plays, Commercials, and Television.
