About

Just like any other musician I also started playing in a lot of little bands that were just for fun thinking we would rock the world one day. A lot of those bands did not last very long and I really wish I still had some recordings; it probably would be enjoyable and embarrassing at the same time. I am grateful that I’ve played with all those different people. They made me in to the musician I am today. They also gave me a big bag full of songs, experience and a lot of funny stories to share!

I started to learn to play the drums and got my first drum set when I was 6 years old. I had lessons for 4 years and after that started playing in school bands, and even performed with a Brass Band when I was a teenage rebel drummer! In fact, that was my very first real experience playing with a group of people/musicians and to perform in front of an audience. How cool!

I’ve been serious active as a musician since I was 18 years old and have been performing since. I've made several recordings and albums with different bands thorugh those years. Since I’ve been in the USA I’ve also had the honor to open up for Gary Allan in 2007 and Luke Bryan in 2011.

The music/mp3's, 'Hush' was recorded in the Netherlands with Deetoxx and 'the south is gonna do it again' was recorded here in Missouri with "Firecreek", the track "Bar Fight" is an origingal and was recorded with a local artist/singer/songwriter, Chase Robinson.

I'm looking for an active band, country, blues, classic and or southern rock. No drama, and zero tolerance for drugs. If interested contact me at:
