About Me


Thanks for checking out my page. I'm a drummer/percussionist performing and teaching in the St. Louis area.
For the most part, I post dates on here so I can remember them, but feel free to come out to any gigs.
I'm currently studying at Webster University with Kevin Gianino (drumset) and Henry Claude (percussion). Both of them put a huge emphasis on technique and musicality, and I highly recommend taking lessons with them if you're serious about world percussion, classical percussion, or drumset.
Past teachers include Rich Hensley, Lisa Kinworthy, Rusty Parker, and Chad Schaedler.
In addition to assisting at Parkway South High with the drumline, percussion ensemble, and jazz band,
I teach drumset, percussion, and rudimental drumming privately.
Other than playing and teaching, I work for Vindico Music Group.
If you want lessons or a drummer/percussionist for anything else,
call 314-795-3803 or email [email protected]
