20+ years experience playing the drums. Band kid in school (clarinet, tenor sax, percussion, world drums), I joined an alternative rock band in my early 20's. We toured the west coast, played SXSW several times, and had a development deal with Atlantic Records. After five years with the band I stepped away from music to start a family. I'm hungry to get back into the music scene, be it jam sessions, small bar gigs, large events, touring, studio work, worship, or anything in-between. Whatever it is, it needs to be a good time and the people need to vibe. Looking forward to jammin' with you!

Influences
Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Chad Smith, Matt Cameron, John Bonham, Danny Carey, Ringo Starr. I'm definitely the product of a blend of musical influences - cruisin' to Oldies with my grandpa, rocking out to 80's Hair Metal and 90's Grunge with my mom, driving the back roads chillin' with Country gods, Hip Hop with my buddies... I love and appreciate it all, and it's all played a part in who I am as a musician. Every drummer has taught me something - something I can incorporate or learn from.
