About Me

I'm originally from the Flint, Mi. area, but relocated to southern Florida to play a large role in the band Crossbreed as drummer and co-owner of The Candy Factory studio. Just a few of the projects I've recorded with and been a part of in the past... CELLDWELLER "live" These Five Down Exit Mindbomb ...various local hip-hop, and jazz as well.I'm also a University of Michigan student, almost into my senior year as a Organization Communication major. I've always had an eye, and ear for creative advertising and marketing of music and media.
