About Me
I am a hard-hitting rock drummer and have been for most of my life (about 18 years now). I have played hundres of shows all over the U.S. and Europe and I have a blast playing the music I love, meeting all kinds of cool people, seeing some amazing places, and just basically living my dreams.
I have played with more than 20 bands since I put together my first band in my basement in 1990. For a complete list, check the list on this page. For the last 6 years, I have been playing with Reno Divorce . We have several CDs out (see Discography below) and have toured the US and Europe several times. Currently, we are working on a new album at world famous The Blasting Room Studios.
Keep it here for all the latest on my doings with Reno Divorce . I also may post some songs from past bands, as long as no one has a fit over it.
I also teach drum lessons and I will even travel to you in order to give the lesson (as long as you are in the Denver metro area). If you are interested, please get in touch.
