About Me

I play drums with Ozomatli, touring the hinterlands near and far, seeking out spicy ethnic foods and rocking the natives. I never went to medical school and lack any other qualifications that could translate into a steady career, so I have to say I am blessed this one has been working out pretty well. And I'm always looking for new projects....

Japan Rules. That's it. I can't go into details because there are too many, it's pretty much endless all the ways that it rules.
