About Me

A Native of Southern California, I was born a drummer, an artist, but my direction was shifted away from music early on. Realizing that living a fulfilling life entails being true to oneself, I've returned to my essence, creating art in the mediums of music and cinema. Rather than delve in to a protracted bio here, my feeling is to let my artistic endeavors tell the stories and inspire imaginations, interpretations, and experiences. Videos, pictures, and info on upcoming show dates, for both acting and musical performances can be found here, along with audio clips from my new CD "Blue Lights to Saturn" Friendship, collaboration, and feedback are all welcome. You can also reach me by e-mail at [email protected] is my ACTING REEL:"Blue Lights to Saturn" is in stock at Amoeba Music in Hollywood, can be ordered through most local record stores in the US, and can be downloaded from on-line digital providers including and ithinkmusic (for trade in Euros).The CD, along with clips of all the tunes, are available at CDBaby (just click on the CD cover if you'd like to be taken directly there)......This is a short I starred in set to music from "Blue Lights to Saturn" :...snippet of a drum solo over Cherokee at Charlie O's:...shedding the drum groove to "Oblivion" from "Blue Lights to Saturn" :...shedding to "Radiance" from "Blue Lights to Saturn" :
