I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Let's see here... I have been a drummer since I can remember... spent most of my youth in a band called Chaotix, even played at CBGB's...Jammed with many, many cool people in my day... Tried to start a project called Karate Champ... but starting a band in your late 20s is apparently more difficult than when your in high school....Since then I have tried to pick up any form of percussion I could find..I have played percussion with some bad ass DJ's... I've played Starscape 3 years in a row now...I have performed live with Q Burns Abstract Message, Ed Ridgley, Adam T Rush, Tracey Cooper, DJ Kosta, Donnie Burlin, Chris Bulla, Derek Fenwick and the infamous DJ Sun... I was a resident percussionist at Mosaic while I was the bar manager and mostly played for Lovegrove and Adam Auburn.......... As of late, I am back on my drum set...in my heart...I am a punk/ metal drummer... My kit is my outlet....and I am always interested in meeting talented musicians... //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I am lead bartender at Sky Lounge in Federal Hill and at Bedrock on Baltimore St. Come have a drink with me on Mondays and Wednesdays @ Bedrock, and Fridays and Saturdays @ Sky Lounge!!

My Interests

karma.....Playin' music and chillin' with my blind dog "Roady"...and our bearded dragon "TROGDOR"...and 2 baby sand boas... yet to be named.... other than that, anything beach related, violence in moderation, bringing the rock, and politics...from a slight distance... I am focusing on living a better life, free of ignorance and egos, and enjoying my surroundings... rather than tolerating them.
