About Me

Drummer/percussionist/vocalist formerly of the band the Argument. Currently recording/performing with Scott Simons (ex-the Argument) and on occasion Brad Yoder (great Pittsburgh, PA singer/songwriter). You can also see/hear me playing with a number of other great regional artists.

The selections above are songs that I played and sang background vocals. The songs are written and performed by Scott Simons (www.scottsimonsmusic.net) and the Argument.

I am interested in playing with anyone that can write a memorable melody... no matter the style.
