Bio

As a teen and young adult it was my sole ambition to be a professional musician. To date I have never been more passionate about anything. Life of course got in the way, but regardless I managed to play in a few bands over the years, and I have a fair number of performances under my belt. Its been 10 years since I've setup my drums, and it's been as painful as it sounds. I have a career, and a family. I'm not looking to jump into a band that wants to start playing shows right away, i just want the weekly ritual back.

Influences

There are more then i could list here. I was inspired to play drums when I was 11 and saw Metallica's "Wherever I May Roam" video. So Metallica was a big one. Others include GNR, Pantera, White Zombie, Megadeth, Alice in Chains, Greenday, Nirvana, Dream Theater, Rush, etc....pretty much the entire 90's scene. I went through a country phase as well, playing along to several country albums. Blues, Jazz, alt rock, punk, r&b, i have been influenced by so many artists, and been through so many phases that i simply can't do my influence justice by only mentioning a few.
