About Me

Hey there music fans, thanks for taking a moment of your time to check out my music. Let me give you a little background on me:I've drummed from coast to coast and overseas with bands such as Horizon, Savior, Leading Edge, Dillo, Steinhardt, I.N.C.,Tokyo Road, Tandoori Flyz, Vivid, Razed, and Shark Rodeo. I have recorded albums with Dillo, Steinhardt, Vivid, and Razed. Although Ive been playing drums for 30 years, Ive spent the last 21 years in the United States Marine Corps dedicated to protecting your rights as an American. Due to my commitment to the Corps, I have been unable to pursue my music career to the point at which I can make a living from it.I have spent the better part of 2006-2008 deployed to Iraq. Since I can't really play drums out there, I decided to write my own music and continue to learn guitar. I have completed an albums's worth of material in hopes to have it recorded by the summer of 2009. UPDATE...drum tracks have been recorded, bass tracks are next!Years playing drums: 30. Years playing guitar: 10. Drum Equipment: Yamaha Stage Custom drums, Pacific drums, Zildjian cymbals, Gibralter and PDP racks, Vic Firth sticks, Aquarian & Remo heads, AKG, Sennhieser, & Shure microphones.Guitar equipment: Ovation acoustic, Schecter electric, Marshall and Gallien-Krueger amps. The following is a philosophy I can't help but live:
