Drummer, sound engineer, and post production dude.

About Me

I've been playing drums in various Los Angeles punk bands over the past 20+ years, a few of which were on the SST label (Swa, October Faction, & Chemical People ). Back in the 80's, I toured with a couple of those bands along with Black Flag, Husker Du, Minutemen, Meat Puppets, Saccharin Trust, and St. Vitus. In the late 90's, I did a small tour stint with the Jeff Dahl Band. In 2003, I filled in on drums with Cüddle for a West Coast tour with Nick Oliveri's Mondo Generator .I'm currently drumming in Marc Spitz Freestyle & Punk Rock Vatos . By day, I tech post production editing systems for T.V. & Film. I drum by night, and also own a small sound company for doing live sound reinforcement for various events.

My Interests

Music:

I listen to a variety of stuff. Everthing from the pop music of my childhood, to the punk rock that I play. Over the years, I've learned the being monolithic with musical interests is useless. The beauty of music is in diversity.

Blue Velvet - one of those movies I can see again & again; Braveheart - hell I'm part Scottish; Jesus Christ Superstar - 12 years of Catholic school, and it comes down to this i ;-) I gave up Catholicism for Lent!; The Decline of Western Civilization - This is the movie is great. Little did I know that I would know most of the people in it within a year of it's release; Napoleon Dynamite; Pecker; Videodrome; Pi; Alien; and a ton of others

Television:

Star Trek, orginal series; Law & Order; Top Model; Front Line; Sopranos; Six Feet Under; The Wire; Extreme Makeover Home Addition; Conan O'Brien; CSI Miami - my friend Emily is in it;

Books:

A Brief History of Time - Stephen Hawkings; Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy; Lord of the Rings, and a ton of others...

Heroes:

People who truly think for themselves, and not let others think for them (at least too much ;-) )
