I am the drummer in a band called Silvertide.
I am a loving father of two & a devoted husband
I volunteer as an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician)
I write songs/music, engineer, produce, edit, mix, master music, and give drum lessons. I play mainly drums and percussion, but also guitars, bass, & keys.
I spent 2002-2004 recording a the band's debut record called "Show & Tell" in Philly & in L.A. I then spent the next 3+ years on the road living the dream, touring 40 U.S. states, Japan, England, Mexico, Canada, Spain.
Silvertide has been signed to Clive Davis & J Records/RCA Music Group since 2002.
The band has been in a freeze mode for a good 18 months now due to problems with our label. After all this time, shows are starting up again, and songs are being written & recorded at my studio, though..finally!
Mark (Silvertide guitarist/multi-instrumentalist) & I built & owned a kick-ass studio in NE Philly, called BackYard Studios.
I spent a huge portion of my time there producing/recording, and writing over the last 18 months.
Recently I have moved BackYard Studios to my newly built home studio, SilverSound Music Studio. It is a sweet-ass space, and I spend a lot of time here creating music. Let me know if you are interested in recroding, co=writing, or drum lessons, and we'll set something up. I'm filling up my schedule with as much recording/lessons as possible.
A myspace page & website will be created for SilverSound soon, but for now here is a link to BackYard Studios to sample some of my production work.

My wife & I had our daughter, Sophie, in September 2006..... She is the greatest!!!! She has changed my life, and I'm so grateful for every second of every day that I've gotten to spend with her. My wife, Katie, is the most amazing person I've ever met. She has been unbelievably supportive & loving in every aspect of our relationship. She is the world to me. Also, my son, Brendan was born in late March, 2008. We are unbelievably tires, but happier & luckier than ever!
