SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm really interested in finding an original project or a great tribute or cover band. I need experienced musicians but talent is #1! I have a solid groove and maintain a rock-solid meter. I give 110% every performance and act professionally and humble.

For the past 23 years "1994 - 2017" I have been the drummer for The Nowhere Men “Seattle Beatle tribute” and have enjoyed great regional popularity performing on TV, radio, studio, and stadium. I do a lot of fill-in work when bands.
