About Me

COME SEE ME PLAY MY DEBUT LAS VEGAS CONCERT!
I have been a professional drummer for over 20 years starting as a teenager. I was fortunate enough to go to Granby High School in Norfolk, VA with Judas Priest drummer Scott Travis. Being able to see him perform was my major influence in playing the drums and choosing it as a career. My favorite band growing up was Van Halen and Alex Van Halen is an inspiration to me. I've been compared to a cross between John Bonham and Tommy Aldridge and they are 2 of my all time favorite drummers. My biggest inspiration of all time on drumming is Tommy Lee. The album " Motley Crue " with John Corabi on lead vocals is the greatest rock drum performance and my favorite cd of all time. Motley Crue is and will always be my favorite band.
I have posted to the left some of the cds I have played on. I have led 3 bands since 1991...ORDAINED, THE RENEGADES OF SLUTS, AND METAL WOLF. All 3 bands played up and down the east coast for the past 16 years. I was drummer, lead vocalist, and executive producer on METAL WOLF'S " OUT FOR THE KILL " cd. METAL WOLF eventually turned into ORDAINED with my long time best friend THE REVEREND taking over lead vocals in 1996. ORDAINED won the award for BEST METAL BAND OF THE YEAR by the readers of Portfolio and Ninevolt Magazines in 2005 and 2006. I also started THE RENEGADES OF SLUTS in 2000 under the alias DICK DOG with band members DICK TATTOO and DICK NUX.
I have relocated my record and promotion label DIE MUSIC GROUP to Las Vegas, NV.
