About

I have been playing professionally for over 20 years, including studio recording, touring, and television appearances, with the last 7 years spent in Austin. I graduated from the Berklee College of Music in Boston in 1999. Some of the artists I have had the pleasure of performing and working with are John Denver, Chris Opperman, The Global Funk Council, former Zappa guitarist Mike Keneally, Meagan Tubb & Shady People, Bleu Edmondson, The Karl Morgan Band, James Speer, Lisa Marshall, Wink Keziah, Aaron Navarro, Beau Sasser, and Jimmy Ibbotson of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Some artists that I have been fortunate enough to have shared bills with include Willie Nelson, Asleep at the Wheel, Maceo Parker, Medeski, Martin, and Wood, Carolyn Wonderland, and Bob Schneider. Please drop me a line if you need a drummer!
