My Greatest Supporters

Without a doubt, my parents Cielo and Neil Ricafrente have supported me through every aspect of life and raised me into the man I am today as well as my sister Sam, and my dog Luna. Special shout out to my professors Roy Allen, Dr. Julie Ford, and Sharon Lee Kim for allowing me to grow and develop. Lastly, I would like to thank the Academy as well as sidewalks for keeping me off of the streets.

Favorite Saint Mary's Memory

My favorite Saint Mary's memory would either be when I traveled to South Africa for the World Choir Games in 2018 with the Saint Mary's College choir or when I studied abroad in Japan for Jan Term 2020. In addition, I will always treasure the infamous "water cooler talks" I had with my boys Michael Prebil, Moises Gonzalez, Ryan Ford, and Trent Cox.

My Next Chapter

Currently, I am working as an Agent at New York Life in San Francisco. I will be staying in Walnut Creek to spend time with my family and friends. At the same time, I am looking to further my career in music on the side and release an album in the future.

Let's go on a little win streak, [what happened today?] it will not matter...and this will be in the past like a ponytail.
