About Me

I'm a working musician in NYC, playing drums for a number of different projects at any one time. Typically, I gravitate towards groove oriented material, but good music is good music, so anything is possible. As well as the drumset gigs, I also perform with the off-broadway show "Stomp" on a freelance basis. I performed fulltime for the show for 4 years, touring nationally and internationally, and now I play off and on in NYC as needed. While on tour, I was rehearsal director of the company and fulltime lead in the show at the same time. In addition to Stomp and drumset gigs, I also perform for Tee & Jam, drumming for corporate events(IBM, Hyundai, Microsoft, etc.) around the country.
