About Me

I am a Producer, Engineer, Songwriter, Drummer, Guitarist and Bassist. Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. I got my first drum kit at the age of 4 after working a paper route with my mom and dad. When I was about 10 years old, I picked guitar and bass. Growing up my drumming was heavily influenced by Stew Smith (Delirious?), Jeremy Taggart (OLP) and Rich Bedoe (F11). I played to their records over and over until I could do everything, just the way they did it. Enter guitar world stage right (All of my favorite guitarist are stage right.. go figure), being influenced by guitarists like Stu G (One Sonic Society, Delirious?), James Black (F11), The Edge (U2) and most recently Mathew Bellamy (Muse). Then I fell into the recording world when I was 17 because I was writing a lot and wanted to hear what it would sound like with everything goin full tilt. Since then I have been fortunate enough to work with some amazing people along the way! I have been apart of many bands like Audiophoria, Drew Brown, Tehillah Toronto, Fear Of God, Three Fifty One, Slow Motion Explosion, I have also had the privilege of working with Manafest, Thousand Foot Krutch, Toronto Mass Choir, Make You Think, The Carps, The Other Children, Allen Froese, Capstone, Bob Fitts and many more.
