ABOUT

I've played shows with multiple bands since my high school days so I have decent gig experience (although it’s been a while since I’ve played a gig, but it’s like riding a bike). I'm currently active duty military stationed in CA but I will be moving back home to Wesley Chapel late July. I wanted to keep my profile active until then because I'd be happy to network, share ideas, and collaborate with musicians back home through email and other means until then.

A little about my musical background and experience: I am a self-taught drummer, been playing since the age of 16. As a drummer once active in the Tampa Bay local scene I've played in venues such as The Brass Mug, The Crowbar, The Orpheum, and State Theatre (now known as the Floridian Social Club).

I am open to work with bands/artists creatively or as a session/live member, and cover/tribute bands—I just want to play! I also wouldn’t be opposed to starting a band from the ground up. My aim is to play gigs at least monthly, ideally playing 2-3 times a month.
