I'm available for fill-in work or a permanent position.

I've performed with Jay Leno, David Brenner, Dee Carstensen, The Platters, Buddy Hackett, Fred Travalena, Comedy Team Sandler and Young, the Billy Preston Band, Lauren Hart of the CBS program 10! and various others. I was co-founder of the band Cheers that was awarded Atlantic City Magazine's Show Band of the Year award for 1985 and 1986. I've worked in all the Atlantic City casino's as a free-lance drummer and was the house drummer for the French Quarter Follies in New Orleans, LA. I studied drums/percussion with William Schinstine (Renowned Percussion Educator, Timpanist, National Symphony amd San Antonio Symphony), Brian Holt (New Sousa Band), John Beck (Eastman School of Music, Rochecter Philharmonic), Carl Mattola (Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Mike Douglas Show), Dave Mancini (Maynard Ferguson) and earned a Bachelor of Music in Applied Percussion Performance from the Eastman School of Music.

Looking for an established, working band playing weddings, private and corporate parties and events, clubs. Must be professional. Also, will do sub and recording work. Will consider any professional opportunities. Travel possible. Contact me with details.
