About Me

I am a professional drummer and have been in several touring bands. Here is a brief list of what I have been involved with:
Hilljack--1996 through 1998
American Dog--1998 to present
The Godz--(studio work)
Electric Mud--2006 to current
I have had the good fortune to have toured all over the world with the bands listed above, playing in Belgium, England, France, Germany, Canada and all over the U.S.A. I have also played several Biker Events/Shows including the following:
Sturgis Bike Rally, 2001 and 2002
Easy Riders tour, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007
Daytona Bike rally, 1993, 1994, 1995
Hamburg Harley Days, Hamburg, Germany, 2004
I have been a Sonor Drums endorser for 5 years. Sonor makes the best sounding, most road-worthy gear I have ever used. I also recently joined the Regal Tip drumstick roster and am very excited to work with them in the near future!! I am also now endorsing Buttkicker personal silent subwoofer's. I have had the opportunity to use this product several times in the past and I am very happy to be part of the artist roster and look forward to using their product on the road!!
I have a family that is VERY important to me. My wife, best friend, and partner in life, Melissa, the most supportive person on Earth (and a hottie!!), I love her very much. My sons Brandon and Bobby, both great young men, and I am very proud of both of them. My daughters; Haley who has grown into a beautiful young woman and is very independent, and Olivia, my munchkin!! She is the apple of my eye!! I love her and miss her very much when she's not with us...
I recently discovered my family heritage is almost ENTIRELY Scottish and have become very interested in tracing my family's name and roots back to Scotland. So far, it's been really interesting and looks to be a worthwhile work in progress...
I am again working with my bandmates in American Dog once more. I left the band after nearly 10 years in March of this year. My work schedule prevented me from touring with the band, and we had all agreed it was time for a change. After several months, we are back working together again and all looks good. There will be a full European tour in April of next year as well, more info as it comes.
