I studied at the Indiana University Conservatory of Music, under George Gaber. I have recorded in New York, Nashville, Los Angeles and Miami. I'm known for Funk and Modern Jazz. I'm also known for my distinctive cymbal work. I am a sober player (do I mind playing with others who aren't sober?...Not if their play is tight.) I've lived in Minneapolis for 7 years, and yet have only performed locally once...for me, to work pretty much means hopping on a plane and heading out of town. THAT HAS GOT TO CHANGE
