About Me

At the age of 11 I was inspired by this new thing called MTV, so I quickly picked up the drumsticks and found my new obsession. I've been playing drums ever since. I've played with bands such as Man Will Surrender, Human Waste Project, The Start, Motochrist, Campfire Girls, Mellowdrone, and She Wants Revenge. I've also done a small share of jingles in between when not touring. I have toured with and met bands such as Depeche Mode, Placebo, Weezer, Johny Marr & The Healers, Elbow, South, Ok Go, Sevendust, Snot, Incubus, & Korn. As a kid growing up I loved Punk Rock and the music of the 80's. In the 90's I was very involved in the heavy music scene (had to get the aggression out). Since the year 2000 I've mellowed out some and played more alternative music. In the past 3 years I played with a band called She Wants Revenge and had a great time and experience with them. Since schedules always vary please contact to check on availability.
