About Me

I began my musical journey at around 8 years old, messing around on the piano after watching my mother play. Curiousity got the best of me, and I fell in love with music. I'm basically self taught on piano with a few formal classes in college. I've been playing saxophone for 22 years, studying under Jeff McIntosh, Tony D'Andrea, Ed Leamon, and Alan Wyatt. Bass guitar has been a hobby for about 18 years now. I love to play anything Jazz, Contemporary, Pop, Rock, Soul, Funk. Just give a groove and some chord changes let's create something. A few people I've played with... Arturo Sandoval, Phil Driscol, Delfeyo Marsalis, Marvin Stamm, Wynton Marsalis, Bobby Messano, Larry Howard, Dominic Serpico Jr., and Sean O'Bryan Smith. I've been involved in several recording sessions in the Chattanooga and Nashville areas.Currently I'm a regular member of area ensembles such as; Burk's Crossfire Band, Swingtime Orchestra, Instrumental Magic, Walt Meyer Orchestra, Saxophobia. I'm aslo a regular sub for the Nashville based Skyline Drive band. I'm working on my first solo project and will post some demos from time to time for your enjoyment. Thank you for visiting my music page and for your support. God Bless!!!Four Year Old Drummer!
