ABOUT

I am a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, producer, engineer who loves to play live, both covers & originals. I release solo music & play in 3 bands:

THE HELP DESK: An original band founded by myself & Erik Widmark as a vehicle for the original music we write together. Diverse, sort of "indie"

HIRED GOONS: An original Ramones-style punk band founded by Paul Czarnowski & Bill Arseneau, that writes songs about The Simpsons. - I joined as a drummer, I now also play guitar and co-write, produce.

THE AMAZING JOHNSONS: A cover band that I formed with my friends. Mostly classic & alternative rock, but we do whatever we want.

I also am more than happy to play studio sessions. I don't really care about someone's music style or their "talent level", I'm willing to contribute to anything, just to have fun and continue learning on this musical journey.
