About Me

I am originally from Rochester NY. I was in a band called Loopus for about 8 years. In that time we put out 3 studio albums and one live album. As well as touring the country on the Vans Warped Tour for five straight years. But the band had run its course and it was time to move on. I moved to Tampa to pursue my dream as a musician. I came across a band called Driving The Fall. I knew that with there hard edged style and my more melodic song writing, we would be great. We are currently working on pre-production for our debut album. And we will be touring the country in the spring.

LOOPUS TOUR VIDEO LOOPUS SLIDE SHOW (NOTHING IS REAL)Driving The Fall reviews"As usual DTF's command of perfectly blended harmonies and meaningful melodies turns the potential cacophony of 'screamo' rock into hard driving messages of fall and redemption and survival at all odds but without the bleating of blame or the call for revenge that sometimes accompany such declarations. Apparently DTF sees the answers within themselves. Admirable in this age of victimology where everyone knows the problem and it's not them. The variety and range of the vocals, melodies and beats convince me that we'll be hearing and seeing DTF long into the future no matter which direction music may choose to go in. In DTF, we have the combination of multi- and many talented songwriters, vocalists and musicians who have a message and know how to send it without alienating half the population."Indie-Music.com

LIFE

As I go through life I get more confused every day. What is my purpose? Why does it seem like the world is against me? Why do people lie and deceive? I don't have the answers to any of these questions...
