About Me


Upcoming Shows:
I'm a drummer from Seattle Washington. I've been playing for 16 years and teaching for 6. My first musical project was a jazz combo at the age of 8, playing at local schools and art clubs. By 11, I was beginning to take an interest in jazz/fusion/jungle. Since then, I've been a drummer seeking out technique and finesse over power and speed. I've played with many different bands and have played almost every style of music there is, and toured around the nation with multiple bands playing festivals and venues. I most recently was the touring percussionist for Grammy Winner Van Hunt. I've played live on the radio, been on National TV, shows such as CD USA (twice), The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, and a show aired in nationally in France. Also opened for Mary J. Blige, Anthony Hamilton, Heather Hedley, The Brand New Heavies, and more. I also do freelance live/studio gigs and clinics around Seattle.
These are a few videos I've taken over the last couple of years.
This one is playing to the FF7 Battle Theme.
