Born in Seattle, Ted is a singer, songwriter and a tribute artist. He has performed since the age of 10 throughout school in concert, symphonic and jazz bands developing his talents as a drummer and singer. In 2006 he went on to Laughlin, NV to compete in the Talent Quest 2006 involving 28 states, New Zealand, Australia and Canada, and took first place. He then went on to win Komo TV4's NW Afternoon Celebrity Look Alike contest, and has played twice for John Denver's own "Windstar Foundation" in Aspen, CO. Ted also performed with the late Steve Wiesberg, John Denver’s lead guitar player from 2010 to 2014.
Ted now performs internationally for all kinds of venues and events. He has wowed the crowd, selling out theaters all over the US. The most frequently heard comments after a show are "I can't believe how much he looks and sounds like John Denver! It really took us back!"
