ABOUT

Studied at Haddonfield Conservatory of Music in New Jersey. Taught private lessons while in College pursuing a business degree. Have played on and off for years but now very serious about my playing. I was taught with heavy influence on technique. I am practicing the use of basic rudiments but with slight changes to develop my own groves which have a definite influence from jazz. I like to use the double base for specific groves or fill but also know the need to not play double bass at all for certain music. Would consider joining a band or forming one but would have to be the right situation.
