I am a full-time drummer who is currently active in the Washington, DC blues and rock scene. I also play small group and big band jazz, as well as club date and "society" gigs. I attended college for music, and currently have 98 credits toward a Bachelor Of Music degree. I spent 26 years in the United States Air Force Band program, with 24 of those 26 years as a drummer/percussionist with The United States Air Force Band in Washington, DC. While assigned to the Air Force Band, my playing duties included everything from small groups playing for receptions to rock and roll to country, and everything in between. I retired from the Air Force in 2003 and began pursuing my current freelance music career.

Influences:

I have many, but here's a few: Russ Kunkel, Buddy Rich, Steve Gadd, Louis Bellson, Butch Miles, Joe Yuele, Max Roach, Art Blakey, Alan Dawson, Sonny Igoe, Ed Soph, Peter Erskine

Equipment List:
