About Me


I'm a drummer and an engineer/producer. For years I slugged it out in a band called the Daycare Swindlers, touring the country and putting out records left and right. I'm now in Supreme Commander, Rude Rock Family and Shwa.

    Rant, On.

    The Swindlers reunion chewed up most of my free time over the past 8 weeks so I've had little to think about except the imaginary precipice of failure the show could've been. Luckily, all is well and ...
