I started playing drums when I was 6 years old. My main interests are classic rock, contemporary jazz, fusion, funk, R&B, blues, and southern rock, and contemporary Christian music. I also enjoy some prog rock, country, and reggae. I play often for my church, and I serve as a substitute at various other churches. I also play occasional gigs with a couple of different bands, but nothing regular. I'm looking for a band to play more regularly with for fun and occasional gigging.
I am also a published poet and would be interested in collaborating with other songwriters to create great songs.
