What to say, what to say.  Well I'm a drummer and composer from New York City. Upon living and playing in New York for 12 years, I decided to broaden my understanding of music,  So, I moved to L.A. in 2006 to pursue a masters in composition and performance at The California Institute of the Arts.  I've always enjoyed collaborating with artists in other fields such as film, theater, dance and visual art. Most my work at the present revolves around collaborative bases with artists in New York and Europe.  While living in New York,  I had many wonderful opportunities playing with an array great artists, Butch Morris, Brandon Ross, Louis Belogenis, Reggie Workman, Oliver Lake, Elysian Fields and Burnt Sugar, to name a few.  My family resides in New York, so I split most of my time between Los Angeles and my home on the east coast.  I'm very much interested in collaborating with as many artists as possible in this life.
