Birds Of A Feather Flock Together

About Me

I currently live in the NYC area. I used to play drums for a few Chicago bands; Eye's On Troy, Political Justice?, Denied Remarks (as a second drummer), God's Acre, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Rights Of The Accused, & Triple Fast Action. Now I play drums for Local H.I moved to NY in 1998 after Triple Fast Action broke up. I soon became Liz Phair's tour manager followed by a job (more like an honor) drum teching for Cheap Trick. I still work with them from time to time as Road Manager. I Tour Manage Brazilian Girls, Micki Free, and Local H.I started a company called Tour Time Productions. http://www.myspace.com/tourtimeproductions

My Interests

When ever I get the time (which is not too often) while on tour I like to go bird watching. I bird with my friends in NYC as much as I can when I am not on the road. My ABA list is almost at 500 species. You could add about 120 more for my AOU list. I also like to dabble in art (see my photos).
