ABOUT
I've been playing drums professionally (i.e. as a paid entertainer) for over 13 years now, and have several hundred live performances under my belt. I can play a variety of genres, but am typically drawn to "feel heavy" music that focuses more on the groove than on chops. I've also been fortunate enough to participate in two Armed Forces Entertainment tours, and have performed in Hawaii, Japan, Okinawa, Guam, Diego Garcia (in the Indian Ocean), Roi Island and Kwajalein (both in the Marshall Islands) for US troops stationed abroad.
