I'm basically your average rock and roll animal!! I love playing my drums and playing all styles of music with talented individuals! As well as being in many other bands throughout the years, I've been a part of one band for about 20 years or so, "Vicious Rumors" they've allowed me to travel the world and see things and experience other cultures in a way I never would have imagined! It all stems from high school. I was always in the school band, playing at football games and rallies ! Eventually, playing house parties turned into playing clubs around the world, along with some super big music festivals in Europe. Of course, you have to keep your day job somehow! I'm Divorced now, with a couple of beautiful children as well as a beautiful grandaughter I try to see as often as possible! Living in Vallejo can be super boring so I try to keep busy with my various bands gigging all over the bay area......
