About Me

Hey all, if you couldn't tell already, I am a musician of many years. I have spent my life playing drums/percussion. I started out playing in local groups in Pontiac. I then played in the army show Operation Happiness until I got discharged. I then made my way to New York City where I really hit it off. I am madly in love with my wife Keiko who somehow manages to keep me in line. Some things that I enjoy are traveling, art, and gigging with my favorite cats. I have met a lot of people in my day so don't be afraid to shoot me an e-mail.
