About Me

I'm not one to talk about myself much so I will make this short and simple. I was born in Williamsport P.A. And eventually moved to N.J. where up until 1996 I lived most of my life between the two states. I graduated high school in 1996 and on the day of our graduation I moved to delaware, where I got a good job and started on music and joining and playing in bands. I tried out for such bands as Von Kull and Missing Infinities and found my first home in a band called "Erewhon" and then years later found a new home in a band Called "Hardluck" and from that myself and the guitar player formed "Beyond Driven" where I did that for a while and worked with an old writing buddy and wrote several originals, to later be known as "Variant". In may of 2002 that same friend and I headed out to A.Z. Where I help build a recording studio for our project called "Variant". After that I formed a cover band with several friends and we had a good run of things. And Went back to writing originals, with a Female friend of mine and we became "Permanet Damage" for a short period of time and hooked up with the former lead guitar player of "Dreamz Fate" and we started a band but due to finances I had to leave that project called "Blood River" and ended up moving back to D.E. where I now work on just originals writing and recording and producing my own material and soon hope to start playing out again. I am currently working on writing material for a cd. The Project to soon be name!! I also like meeting, seeing ,and playing with different musicians from different walks of life to learn and grow as a musican. I would sometimes go to a Blues bar and Play with some of the blues players and I never meet a nice bunch of people and some great musicians out in A.Z. that help me open my mind to new things and I even did song blues and jazz recording sessions. But I hope one day to be a drummer in a band that can sell out stadiums and sell records right next to some of the greats, and at the end of the day be able to touch the heart of a fan that has liked and embrassed my music like I have with the music I love and listen too...
