About Me

I Like Playing and Recording music, always have, and hopefully always will. I've had the honor of playing with many many musicians through the years and making some great friends doing it along the way. I've played, jammed, recorded or mixed a lot of bands you have probably heard of and many more that you should have or will hear of soon. The music I play is based pretty much out of Oakland California and I am Influenced by the community there.
I've been playing music longer than I could speak and have been privileged to have been taught in many Stylings by some amazing and insightful instructors. I can play most instruments in a fairly competent manner but most of my friends know me as a songwriter, singer, and drummer.
I've very recently picked up some wonderful endorsements through Shure, and Sabian and I am nearly finished with the upcoming Catalyst Album "Morphing Clones" which has taken me nearly Ten years to write and record. The Album will most probably be released on a National scale by an Independant Record Label Based near Oakland and Orinda California.
The music encompases my life over that time and is a mixture of Old School Hard Rock and other styles of music that were written in a time when people listened to music BEFORE they saw it.
I hope people enjoy it although I'm sure it isnt for everyone. The music comes from my heart and head, my sense of fun, sadness, boredom and sometimes anger and if nothing else, I hope most people can hear that in the tunes. I consider myself a musician, and although recognition and gain through other means is an encouraging thing to think of, not one note on the album was played to sell albums, get women, or achieve fame and fortune or stardom, that just aint' my style, at least what little I have. I am also quite often a big stupid idiotic dumbass, but come on, who isnt every once in a while!
