I am here for Networking

About Me

I have been a touring professional drummer for more than 25 years now. I was a founding member of the Raleigh based band Cry of Love. We were signed to Columbia Records in 92' and put out 2 CD's for them. "Brother" and "Diamonds and Debris". After Cry of Love broke up in 97' I moved to Austin, TX and joined up with guitar whiz Chris Duarte. I stayed with Chris Duarte for 3 years and returned to North Carolina in 2001. In classic Spinal Tap fashion I was playing around in a couple of dead end cover bands until hooking up with Corrosion of Conformity in 05'. I toured with those guys up until early 06'. Our lead singer Pepper Keenan is also involved with the band DOWN. They are touring now and possibly working on a new album. In the meantime myself and the other members of COC are working on new material. On the oppisite end of the musical spectrum you can find me playing around eastern NC with The Johnny Dollar Band and The Whiz Kids. It's all good and pays the bills until I find a rich girlfriend! I love what I do and I am very good at it. I don't take myself seriously enough to have an ego. I have many friends from all over the world that are dear to my heart. I am here to network and meet people with similar interest. Everyone has a story to tell...you can't figure it out by looking at a few pictures.
