ABOUT

Healthy 6'5" 225lb season drummer. I practice, swim, strength train, and bike ride. Love animals especially dogs. Love playing with with other musicians that like to groove, keep a tight steady pocket and create music. I have always had good showmanship and think it adds to overall performance for the band. It's always about the song so I do not overplay. Reliable, no drama. Easy to get along with. Team player, TEAM: Together, Everyone Achieves More! Still drummer for Sidewinder since 1980. We only play about 3-4 shows a year. Looking to play more. Go to Sidewinder page to view some videos.
