About Me

I'm a drummer. I live in Orlando, Fl...but i'm from south jersey. I've travelled a lot...and I've decided that South Jersey is one of the best places i've been...i miss it. I also love Europe...especially Italy and the UK. I also met my best friend a year ago, and it just so happens that she's really gorgeous.

im in a band called Baron Von Bear

...

I graduated from FullSail getting my associates in the Recording Arts a couple years ago.

...

I use to work at a record label. now i don't. I'm now doing freelance fulltime doing web/print/audio ::: Butane Studios

Traveling has always been one of my favorite things to do in life, but when i look at this map and compare the amount of countries i've been compared to the countries i haven't...it feels kinda pathetic. I have a lot of catching up to do.
