ABOUT

I am an experienced musician on the stage and in the studio playing a variety of musical styles in numerous venues of varying sizes. I also enjoy the recording and production process and have served as the Executive Producer for the Ft. Bend Symphony Orchestra.

I am looking to join a group of like-minded musicians committed to refining their craft and producing high quality music. The drum is an integral and foundational part of the overall piece and must compliment the song. It's about knowing what to play and what not to play to give the music room to breathe. As such, I have spent a numerous amount of time studying music composition behind the drum set.
