ABOUT
Fuelled by an appetite for creativity, I began my music journey by learning the art of drumming. After several years, I honed my skills not only on the drums but also in the realms of songwriting, singing, and guitar. My influences span a wide diversity, drawing inspiration from the anthems of Led Zeppelin, the mastery of Rush, the energy of Blink 182, the raw emotion of AFI, the conceptual brilliance of Coheed and Cambria, and the melodic genius of Patrick Stump.
I began pursuing a career in music in my teens by performing at local venues, festivals, and events, with bands such as X-Out (drummer, vocalist, lead guitarist), Pensive (bassist and backup vocalist), Goodnight Caulfield (lead guitarist, rhythm guitarist, backup vocalist), and Speedbird (drummer). I have since performed on two national tours with Pensive and two regional tours with Goodnight Caulfield, including dates at Warped Tour and SXSW.
Along the way, I had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse array of artists, producers, and creatives, to whom I owe much credit to my development as a professional musician. I am currently collaborating with my good friend, and brilliant guitarist, J.T. Lewis on a project aimed at showcasing our untethered creativity within the realm of progressive rock.

As I continue to evolve as a musician, I have shifted my focus from the energy of full-band performances to the art of crafting music. I strive to inspire and uplift new generations of music lovers, keeping the passion of rock and instrumental music alive.
