About Me

I'm a musician, audio engineer, producer, composer, and teacher. I play guitar, drums/percussion, bass, trumpet, a bit of vocals, and just about anything else I can get my hands on...
Since relocating to LA I've worked with major label artists (Beck, Remy Zero), worked on major motion pictures (Nacho Libre, Ant Bully), worked on prime time television shows (Weeds, Psyche), and worked with tons of independent artists and bands suchs as The Randies, Ruut, 24E, Scinx, Sara Haze, etc. etc.....
I also do quite a bit of live performing backing singer/songwriters, playing in rock bands, playing in jazz ensembles, etc. I've recently joined the rock band Holmes and can be seen throughout Los Angeles with this group.
I am currently available for live shows, studio work, and audio engineering and producing projects. I'm also always on the lookout for collaborating with great bands, songwriters, and other creative types...
