I Drum, Therefore I Am!

About Me

I was born in L.A. and grew up in a neighborhood full of great musicians. I started playing drums when I was 5 after my parents bought me a Sears Jr. drum set, which i played nonstop. I did my first Pro paying gig at age 14 and that's when I knew playing drums was what i wanted to do for a living. Since most of my neighbors were musicians, it was easy for me to get work. I took lessons from a bunch of great drummers and then played, recorded, and toured with as many bands as I could. Because of that, I have gained a lot of valuable experience. I have had the great fortune to share the stage with some of the best musicians in the world and make great friends along the way. I stay busy as an active pro drummer, lending my talents to L.A.'s best and most diverse bands and solo artists.
