Husband, Father, Educator, Co-Host & House Drummer for the Third Thursday Jam at The Understudy in Tyler, TX. I've had the pleasure of touring internationally through Istanbul & Spain with tunes broadcast in Moroccan taxi cabs, Denver & New York radio.
My parents met in Church and had a cover band in the 80s. Mom sang & Dad played keys. The apple didn't fall far from the tree! :) I met the love of my life through a Samba dance & drums community over 10 years ago. Now we're raising two tiny dancin' boys at 5-y.o. & 22-mos.
The Third Thursday Jam is our way of creating unity, providing a space for musicians & dancers of all skill levels to enjoy live music in synergy and to help pass on some experience to the next generation. These are the events I looked for when I was first getting started, networking & developing projects. Hopefully, talent meets talent and more projects blossom from The Jam!
All ages & skill levels welcome! For event details, please visit: HomeBeats.us
