About Me


My name is Stephen, My friends call me "Stevie", People that know me real well call me "Iron Man", lol. I've kind of earned that name from all the bones I've broke, Including, breaking both of my knees on a trampoline in my back yard back in August of 92, and then I was involved in a drinking & driving accident, back in December of 94 (I was not drinking or driving) and I crushed my right leg in 8 peices and my right arm in 3 places. To make a long story short, I have lots of metal inside me...1-6 inch screw in each knee, a steel rod in my right leg from my knee to my hip, and a metal plate in my right arm. I do give all thanks to GOD that I'm still alive, Muchless still be able to walk or play the drums for a living.
I’ve been playing drums for 30 years consistantly. I play professionally in bands, and have been since 1993. Before that I played part-time in cover bands and had my own original band back then.
I’ve played everywhere from “The Adam’s Mark Hotel in Houston” to the “Prog-Power Metal Festival in Atlanta” and every place in between. I will play out of town, in town, or wherever. I have toured all over Texas, and also in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia, Alabama, Kansas, Colorado & Florida.
I have posted a few videos of some drum solo's, but they need to be updated, as the newest one is almost 2 years old. If you would like to see some pictures as well, then please be sure to click on the “pic’s” button, under my profile picture at the top/left side.
Former bands I've played in include OutWorld, Gravel, Cross Check, Loud Love, Lounge 4407, Peace Pipe, Chameleon, The Robin Fields Project, Dragon Fly, BirthRight, The Kid Ray Blues Band, 2nd Wind, The Big Empty, Fidelity Maxx, Everyday June, Low, Trinity, Dawg Daze, King Karma, Torn, Spindrift, Synergy, Super Fix, Infinity's Twin, & Side Show, just to name a few.
