ABOUT
I'm a full time k-12 music teacher. BA in music ed with a concentration on percussion. I am primarily a drum set player with experience in many genres. I am also a classically trained pianist and can enjoy playing the keys when I can as well. I am easy to get along with and love any opportunity to jam.
I've got talent and a degree but at the end of the day, I'm just a drummer.
