Started playing at 9yrs old. Started doing paying gigs at 16. Since then, there has been any number of club and cover bands, original projects, studio sessions, tours (US & overseas). I've played with members of : Santana, Night Ranger, Malo, Tower of Power and many more. I've worked with The Drifters, The Coasters, The Marvelettes, Al Wilson, Freddie Hughes, Miko Marks...(a rare find...black, female, country singer and a rising star) and many more. I've played with dozens of local bands in the bay area - everything from R&B to Country to Rock to Blues to Fusion. I also play percussion and sing background. I'm always trying new things and working to promote and support "LIVE" music and performance - it's our bread and butter as musicians, that's what we do!Currently, I'm temporarily Rockin out with my friends in the Jungle Rooster Band until they find a permanent guy. So there's always room on the plate for more !!
If you have a project that needs drums or percussion, get in touch with me and lets make some magic. I also own a small sound company, which, can be very helpful at timesl
INFLUENCES: Carter Beauford(Dave Matthews Band), Arron Spears, Tony Royster Jr., Omar Hakim, Dennis Chambers, Billy Cobham, John Blackwell (Prince), Steve Jordan, Steve Smith, David Garibaldi, Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl, Buddy Rich, Art Blakey, Sugar Foot and many more.
STYLES: I try to stay open and diversified so that I can adapt or fit into just about any style that I'm asked to play. But I'd say I prefer a mix of Blues, R&B, Rock, Funk and Fusion.
