ABOUT
Hi there! I started out playing guitar when I was 9 years old. I picked up drums later on playing mostly with jazz ensembles, indie rock, and alt rock groups. Went to college in Nashville, TN and graduated with a Bachelor's degree in audio production. In the years since graduating, I have picked up the mandolin and have been playing with multiple touring bluegrass groups. I gig about 2-4 days out of the week, and I'm looking to do some session playing or stand in for live gigs during the week. I can commute within 75 miles or so for studio work or I can record hi quality tracks in my home studio for a significant discount.
