I started playing drums when I was eleven years old. I learned 2 or 3 beats from a friend down the street who had just started drum lessons. No sooner did I even get a grip on playing a simple 2 and 4 groove, I had the unfortunate event of getting severely burned in a camping accident (see "press" for the full story). The drums were a way of healing myself after the fire. I just kept playing and always tried to improve through the years.
Today I'm a professional drummer/producer touring and recording extensively. 

My drumming teachers and mentors are Sal LaRocca, Keith Crane, John Riley, Adam Nussbaum, Kim Plainfield, Tommy Campbell, Marvin "smity" Smith, Robby Ameen, and anybody who ever picked up a stick.

Here are some people that I have had the honor to play with over the years. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart for their talents and inspiration: Mike Stern~John Abercrombie~Joe Locke~Francois Moutin~Berkana~Dave Binney~Wayne Krantz~KJ Denhert~Dave Mann~ more to come.
