I'm always happy to satisfy a situation.

About Me

I have been playing drums for about 12 years. I have played on a dozen albums ranging from jazz to punk-rock to gospel to orchestral, and I have performed in venues around the world ranging from jazz clubs in London to Lambeau Field in Green Bay to Carnegie Hall in New York. My purpose in this world is to make great music.
