Been playing music for most of my life - what can I say, I love it, always have, always will! Drums are my main thing right now, but I’ve played guitar, bass, tenor/alto sax, and even fronted a few bands throughout the years. In addition, I’ve worked extensively "behind the scenes" for some well known local and national acts as everything from sound engineer to road tech. Looking forward to many more years of playing music and having a great time.
I’m the drummer for the incredible NYC rock band, "LIVID" (formerly "PM") since 2007 ( www.myspace.com/lividnyc ). I’ve also been playing drums for "AGENT SMITH" since 2004 ( www.myspace.com/agentsmithrocks ). Just click on the highlighted links in parenthesis, or look in my top friends to go to the pages and check us out, and add us to your friends!
I am also a sales associate in the drum department at Guitar Center in East Brunswick NJ, so drop me a line or drop by the store sometime for the best deals and service around!
"The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion."
-Thomas Paine
"Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned an invisible government owing no allegiance and acknowledging no responsibility to the people."
-Theodore Roosevelt
"To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."
-Theodore Roosevelt
"The things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life."
-Theodore Roosevelt
"A man who has never gone to school may steal from a freight car; but if he has a university education, he may steal the whole railroad."

"A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
"We annually spend on military security more than the net income of all United States corporations. This conjunction of an immense military establishment and a large arms industry is new in the American experience. The total influence -- economic, political, even spiritual -- is felt in every city, every State house, every office of the Federal government. We recognize the imperative need for this development. Yet we must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. Our toil, resources and livelihood are all involved; so is the very structure of our society. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. We must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberties or democratic processes."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower
"He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself."
-Thomas Paine
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
-Benjamin Franklin
"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government."
-Edward Abbey
"We must not confuse dissent with disloyalty. When the loyal opposition dies, I think the soul of America dies with it."
-Edward R. Murrow
"To argue with a person who has renounced the use of reason is like administering medicine to the dead."
-Thomas Paine
"Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so."
-Bertrand Russell
"The individual is handicapped by coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists".
-J. Edgar Hoover
"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth."
-from Sherlock Holmes, written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
"The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good."

"Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great."
