Pro drummer/percussionist with over 35 years playing experience. I've performed with Jay Leno, David Brenner, Dee Carstensen, 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 won 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 & San Antonio Symphony), Brian Holt (New Sousa Band), John Beck (Eastman School of Music), 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.
