SEEKING
Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Keyboard.ABOUT
Have pictures of me at 3 with drumsticks in my hands...started playing professionally at 13. Played clubs in northern MN until I was 28 and moved to CA to "make it big" played a lot in the clubs and casinos around Tahoe but found I was a better mechanical engineer than drummer. Have a home studio and been working on my own music on and off for the past 10 years. I work to support my music habit.

Influences
Other than the normal rock influences like Ringo Star, John Bonham, Steve Smith, etc. I would say the biggest influences on my drumming have been Lenny White (Return to Forever), Narada Michael Walden (Jeff Beck) and Rod Morgenstein (Dregs) . Lately I have been listing to a lot of Cosmosquad with Shane Gaalaas on drums...this guys is just amazing and I love the music they are putting out.
