ABOUT

Self Taught Drummer/Singer/SongWriter
Born and raised in Warwick RI, I started playing the drums at the age of 11 and have played a total of 53 years now. I've competed in field drill competition in drum & bugle corps in my teen years. Traveled and toured different states musically from then on. I've had many musical involvements in several facets throughout my career which include, music production, engineering, mixing, teaching, live studio sessions, theatrical and stage production, writing & arranging song collaborations and live shows.

Some of my live event performances include opening shows and sharing the stage with such bands as Sevendust, Skid Row, Quiet Riot, Ten Years, Kitty, The Slip, Adam Ezra, Heavy Metal Horns, as well as my performing at the Pat Benetar & Lynyrd Skynyrd shows, as part of the Newport Rhode Island Summer Concert Series. I've also had the honor of performing at the Trinity Repertory Theater in Providence RI with accomplished actress, playwright jazz singer and song writer Rose Weaver. Best known for her roles in movies such as Poetic Justice, The Accused and Lady In White.

To the left of my page are couple live show videos of my performances with former bands.
